Determination of microorganisms
E.1 Product collection and sample processing
E.1.1 Take at least 6 minimum sales package samples from 3 transport packages of the
same batch number (if the number of samples cannot meet the experimental
requirements, the number of samples shall be increased accordingly), of which 1/3
samples are used for testing, 2/3 samples are used as retained samples. The minimum
sales package sampled shall not be damaged and shall not be opened before inspection.
E.1.2 Use aseptic methods to open at least 2 packages for testing under purification
conditions of level-5 air cleanliness, take samples from each package, and accurately
weigh 10 g±1 g of the sample. Cut the sample into pieces, add 200 mL of sterilized
