In the past, control of human health hazards in fresh food of animal origin has generally depended on traditional principles of hygiene, with few attempts to draw quantitative associations between hygiene activities and their outcomes in terms of human health. However, “modernization” of food hygiene programs for fresh foods of animal origin is now a commercial and regulatory goal in a number o...

OBJECTIVE Microbiological examination of donated human cardiac tissue is a necessary procedure for Heart Valve Banks to determine the biological safety of preserved allografts. Test protocols must be validated to prevent false-negative outcomes that pose a risk of infection to recipients of the tissue. The Heart Valve Bank in Rotterdam evaluated a validated, alternative entry test for donated t...

It is the responsibility of the pharmaceutical industry that these microbiological standards are maintained until secondary packaging of the drug product. Knowledge of the microbiological quality of the used excipients and active ingredients, microbiological monitoring of the environment in which the pharmaceuticals are produced, as well as release-testing of the final drug product contribute t...
