ISO 11289: Microbiology of food and animal feeding stuffs — Horizontal method for the enumeration of lactic acid bacteria — Colony count technique at 30 °C.

ISO 11289 provides a reliable and standardized method for enumerating lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in food and animal feed products, primarily through the colony count technique using selective media. Lactic acid bacteria are essential in food fermentation and probiotic formulations, and ensuring their correct levels is crucial for food safety and product quality. By following this standard, food producers and laboratories can ensure the accurate and consistent enumeration of LAB, supporting both product safety and regulatory compliance in the food and feed industries.
