Laboratory tests have revealed elevated levels of microorganisms in raw beef.

This indicator helps assess the sanitary and hygienic condition of a product based on the total microbial count. The test results were entered into the Vesta early warning system and transmitted to the client for appropriate action. According to experts, high levels of QMAFAnM in products may indicate violations of sanitary standards and technological processes, as well as failure to comply with storage and transportation temperature and time limits. This type of product quality can lead to food poisoning, accompanied by diarrhea and gastroenteritis.
