Regulatory limits of microbiology parameters for poultry products
I want to know various countries' regulatory microbiology limits for poultry products (EU, Australia, USA, Canada, Japan, Brazil, China, Russia preferred). They would obviously differ with storage conditions.
Parameters are:
1. Total Plate Count / Total Aerobic Count
2. Staphyloccus aureus (Coagulase +ve)
3. Salmonella
4. E. coli
5. Yeast & Mould count
6. Listeria monocytogenes
7. Clostridium perfringens
8. Clostridium botulinum
9. Campylobacter spp.
If anyone can help me with references, I will be highly obliged.

Hi Parachick,
Thanks for the query and Welcome to the Forum ! :welcome:
You will probably have to provide more context to get useful answers.
If you refer to raw products, official limits such as you list are less likely except possibly in some cases for customary zero-tolerance pathogenic species like Salmonella.
If you are interested in RTE products, Country-by-Country data probably exists on the IT for many of the items on yr micro. menu, and IMO almost certainly for the first 4 locations on yr list.
Unfortunately i have never seen any official compilations of such data. May be available in some poultry-specific publications / websites.
Maybe some poultry specialists here will have more suggestions.
Good Luck !
