Baby foods are often reported as the source of infections caused by the bacteria Cronobacter sakazakii. Despite all the precautions taken, these bacteria are found in baby food.
The tests carried out in advanced laboratories comply with the ISO/TS 22964 standard developed by the International Standards Organization (ISO). In our country, this standard has been published by TSE with the following title: TS EN ISO 22964 Microbiology of the food chain - Cronobacter spp. Horizontal method for determination.
Cronobacter sakazakii was detected in most of the microbiological analyzes of baby foods in the world and in our country, but this bacteria was not detected in any of the cereal-based foods.
Cronobacter species are considered to be ubiquitous organisms isolated from a wide variety of foods. However, it is known that infections caused by infants are generally caused by contaminated powdered baby food.
Contamination of baby foods is direct (contamination of bacteria to baby food at any stage of production) and indirect (from unhygienic materials such as spoons, feeding bottles, food plates used during the preparation of baby food).
In the test, analysis, measurement and evaluation studies carried out in our organization, national and international standards and applicable legal regulations are complied with and reliable and impartial results are obtained. Among the numerous tests carried out in this context, there are services to search for enterobacter sakazakii (cronobacter spp.).
