Food safety control aims to protect human health and provide assurance on food safety. To this end, microbiological analyzes are the most useful way of assessing the safety and quality of the foods concerned.

The aerobic colony count is the number of viable bacteria based on the count of colonies grown on a nutrient agar plate. It is generally used to indicate the quality of food in terms of health. The main purpose of using bacteria as an indicator is to reflect the hygienic quality of food. Escherichia coli is the most commonly used bacteria. Its presence in food usually indicates direct or indirect fecal (fecal) contamination. High escherichia coli counts in foods indicate a general contamination during transport and improper storage.
It is a crime to offer food that is not suitable for human consumption to consumers. With legal regulations, microbiological safety in foods is evaluated and microbiological limits are determined for the monitoring of foods. Microbiological regulations, the safety of the food concernedIt introduces criteria that show its microbiological condition, reflecting its age and quality.
Microbiological limits are organized under three components:
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. These studies are based on the latest technological equipment, trained and experienced staff and modern methods. Microbiological tests - aerobic colony counting (aerobic bacteria count) services are among the numerous tests performed in this context.
