Hi All,
We are making a private label product. usually we make 3-5 consecutive days for a PO# and we dedicate a particular lot code to each day. we have out sourced our testing schedule and we asked lab to make composite sample. what they have asked for, is the weight at which we need them to test this sample for Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes. Lab also said : we need 3 composite as the testing is divided into 3 parts. 1st part for Salmonella, 2nd part for Listeria monocytogenes, and 3rd part for all other testing requested.
My question is, should we figure it out with customer? and if not, how will i get to know how ?
our product spec is as follows:
Aerobic Colony Count (ACC) <1000 CFU/g
Escherichia coli <10 CFU/g
Staphylococcus aureus <10 CFU/g
Salmonella spp.: Absent
Listeria monocytogenes: Absent
Yeast Plate Count: <10 CFU/g
Coliform Plate Count: <10 CFU/g
Thanks!
