Abstract
Peel Plate TM Enterobacteriaceae Bacteria (EB) is a dried selective media on a 47 mm plastic plate that on 10
simple rehydration and incubation for 24 up to 48 h at 37 ± 1°C produces colored colonies from enzyme 11
substrates. The method was Official Method of Analysis validated for quantification of EB compared to 12
reference methods, ISO 21528-Parts 1 & 2:2017. Matrices compared were whole milk, dried skim 13
powdered milk, vanilla ice cream, butter, infant formulas (soy and dairy based) and infant cereals with 14
and without probiotics. Surfaces supported with data are environmental sponge of stainless steel, and 15
poultry carcass rinse with two different peptone buffers. In inclusivity study the method detected 50 of 16
50 different EB strains; and in exclusivity study 30 of 30 different non-EB strains were not detected. In 17
matrix studies the claimed foods, either naturally contaminated or spiked at 3 levels, were paired 18
analysis tested by reference and Peel Plate EB methods. Log transformed data were evaluated and 19
demonstrated that the alternative and reference methods are not statistically different, defined as 20
mean log difference confidence intervals greater than |0.5 log|. International collaborative study with 21 ERP Use Only dried infant formula spiked with Cronobacter sakazakii at log 1.05, 2.31, and 3.21 levels, produced 22 method differences -0.16, 0.15 and 0.18 with repeatabilities r = 0.33, 0.20 and 0.12 and 23 reproducibilities R =0.45, 0.26 and 0.18. Based on these evaluations the alternative method is 24 considered equivalent to the reference methods at both the 24 and 48 hour incubation periods at 37C ± 25

1°C.
