VIEW METHOD

Objective
This method is for the detection of Salmonella spp. in finished cereal products and other grain products with expected low rates of microbial contamination. Salmonella is a foodborne pathogen that causes enteric and systemic illness if ingested. The method described here is adapted from the Food and Drug Administration's AOAC-approved conventional Salmonella method. Current Salmonella methods (both conventional and rapid) serve to isolate and select Salmonella spp. (including injured bacteria), if present in a food sample, for detection.
