Introduction
1.1 Overview:
Samples collected for surveillance and
monitoring purposes are often multi-component products for which there are no
microbiological standards or guidelines. Interpreting the significance of the
types and levels of microorganisms reported when these foods are tested may
therefore be difficult. The purpose of this document is to provide assistance
in the interpretation of microbiological analyses of foods where no other
microbiological criteria exist.
Cream cake is an excellent growth medium
for many kinds of microorganisms, as it provides rich nutrient for
microorganism, is high in moisture and has neutral pH. The ingredients of cream
cake such as chocolate, fruit, milk and butter cream has also perishable food .
So, these kinds of ready and semi-ready to food products and cream cake are not
shelf stable and pose a potential public health risk if subjected to
temperature abuse at any stage of the product's production, storage, distribution
and marketing as well as production under unhygienic condition.
These
guidelines identify four categories of microbiological quality for ready-to-eat
foods ranging from satisfactory to potentially hazardous. This reflects
both the high level of microbiological quality that is achievable for
ready-to-eat foods in Gaza
and indicates the level of contamination that is considered to present a
significant risk to public health. Follow-up actions appropriate to each
category of microbiological quality are also recommended.
The
guidelines for the microbiological examination of ready-to-eat foods apply to
foods sampled at the point of sale or distribution to consumers.
