ISO 4833-1 Bacterial Count in Raw Fish Laboratory Testing Service: A Comprehensive Guide

As the global demand for safe and high-quality food continues to grow, regulatory bodies and industry stakeholders are placing increased emphasis on ensuring that raw fish products meet stringent bacterial count standards. In this context, Eurolabs ISO 4833-1 Bacterial Count in Raw Fish laboratory testing service provides a vital tool for manufacturers, processors, and distributors of raw fish products to ensure compliance with international and national regulations.

Standard-Related Information

The ISO 4833-1 standard is part of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) suite of standards for microbiological examination of foodstuffs. Specifically, this standard provides guidelines for the enumeration of microorganisms in raw fish using a pour plate method or an agar gelation method.

International and National Standards

The following international and national standards apply to ISO 4833-1 Bacterial Count in Raw Fish testing:

  • ISO 4833-1:2017 - Microbiology of the food chain -- Horizontal method for the enumeration of microorganisms in raw fish
  • ASTM E2694-10(2020) - Standard Test Method for Enumeration of Mesophilic Aerobic Bacteria from Fish and Seafood Products
  • EN ISO 4833-1:2018 - Microbiologie des produits alimentaires - Méthode horizontale pour le dénombrement des micro-organismes dans les poissons crus (Horizontal method for the enumeration of microorganisms in raw fish)
  • TSE 163:2006 - Food products - Raw fish and seafood products - Enumeration of microorganisms
  • Regulations (EC) No 852/2004, Regulation (EC) No 853/2004, and Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/625 on animal health rules applicable to the production and placing on the market of raw fish and seafood products.
  • Standard Development Organizations

    The development of standards for microbiological examination of foodstuffs is led by international standardization organizations such as ISO, ASTM, and EN. These organizations collaborate with industry experts, regulatory bodies, and government agencies to ensure that standards are up-to-date and aligned with emerging research and technologies.
