ISO 11290-1 Listeria Monocytogenes Detection in Dairy Products Laboratory Testing Service: A Comprehensive Guide

ISO 11290-1 is a widely recognized international standard for the detection of Listeria monocytogenes in dairy products. This standard is developed and published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to ensure consistency and reliability in testing methods across different countries and industries.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 11290-1 testing is governed by various national and international regulations. In the European Union, for example, Regulation (EC) No. 2073/2005 sets out the requirements for microbiological criteria for foodstuffs, including dairy products. This regulation specifies the testing methods and limits for Listeria monocytogenes detection.

International and National Standards

ISO 11290-1 is a member of the ISO 11290 series, which includes standards for the detection of Listeria monocytogenes in various food matrices. The standard is applicable to dairy products, including milk, cheese, butter, and other dairy-derived products. Other relevant national standards include:

  • EN 13868:2003 (European Standard) - Microbiology of foodstuffs - Detection of Listeria monocytogenes

  • ASTM E2186-08 (American Society for Testing and Materials standard) - Standard Test Method for Detection and Quantification of Listeria Monocytogenes in Food Products
