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.

Aerobic colony count is the number of live bacteria based on the counting of colonies grown on a nutrient agar plate. It is generally used to indicate the health and safety quality of food. The primary purpose of using bacteria as indicators is to reflect the hygienic quality of food. Escherichia coli is the most commonly used bacterium. Its presence in food generally indicates direct or indirect fecal contamination. High Escherichia coli counts in food indicate general contamination during transport and improper storage.
It is a crime to offer consumers food that is unsuitable for human consumption. Legal regulations assess the microbiological safety of food and establish microbiological limits for monitoring food products. Microbiological regulations introduce criteria that indicate the microbiological status of the food in question, reflecting its safety 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.
