Scope
This part of ISO 11866|IDF 170 specifies a method for the enumeration of presumptive Escherichia coli by
means of a colony-count technique at 44 °C.
The method is applicable to
-- milk, liquid milk products,
-- dried milk, dried sweet whey, dried buttermilk, lactose,
-- acid casein, lactic casein and rennet casein,
-- caseinate and dried acid whey,
-- cheese and processed cheese,
-- butter,
-- frozen milk products (including edible ices), and
-- custard, desserts and cream.
The method specified in this part of ISO 11866|IDF 170 is the preferred method for samples in which
comparatively large numbers of presumptive Escherichia coli (more than 100 per gram or 10 per millilitre) are
suspected.
