الوصف: This study is the first attempt in the Philippines to conduct a region-wide assessment of the microbiological quality of retailed mung bean sprouts. Production and vending practices of selected stakeholders were also determined. Ninety-four percent of the samples tested positive for the presence of Salmonella spp. and some samples had Coliform and Escherichia coli counts as high as 5.90 and 5.50 log10 CFU · g−1, respectively. The TPC, YMC and LAB were established to be as high as 11.38, 5.90 and 10.47 log10CFU · g−1, respectively. The poor microbiological quality of most of the tested sprouts was attributed to unhygienic sprout production and retailing practices. To improve the microbiological quality of the retailed sprouts, adherence to sprouting industry best practices is strongly recommended.

الوصف: The extent to which sampling of raw materials and foods, for detection of the presence of GMOs, presents a significant problem depends on the type of material to be sampled, the purpose of the analysis and the degree of risk that is acceptable in obtaining a wrong result. Sampling for indications of non-segregation or co-mingling of raw materials is the main area for which sample plans will for the future need to be developed. Fortunately, there is considerable experience in sampling of commodities in analogous areas such as for the presence of mycotoxins in cereals and nuts where well-tested sampling plans could be utilised.
