GB 4789.48-2024 National food safety standard — Food microbiological examination — Sampling and sample processing of bee products
1 Scope
This standard specifies the sampling and sample processing methods of bee products.
This standard is applicable to the sampling and sample processing of bee products.
2 Equipment and materials
2.1 Sampling tools
The sampling tools shall be made of stainless steel or other materials with appropriate strength, and they shall have smooth surfaces, and rounded corners, but not joints. The sampling tools, include stirring appliances, sampling scoops and spoons, knives, sampling drills, scissors, tweezers, etc., shall be cleaned and sterilized and kept dry before use. The sampling tools include stirring appliances, sampling drills, sampling scoops and spoons, knives, scissors, tweezers, etc.
2.2 Sample container
The material (such as glass, stainless steel, and plastic) and structure of the sample containers shall be able to fully make the samples the original state. Containers and lids shall be clean, dry and sterile. The sample containers (including sampling bag, sampling tube, sampling bottle, etc.) shall have sufficient volume.
2.3 Other supplies
They may include alcohol lamp, thermometer, aluminum foil, sealing film, marker, and sampling registration form.
3 Sampling
3.1 Sampling principles and plans
The sampling principles and plans shall be implemented in accordance with GB 4789.1.
The number (n) of the specimens to be sampled shall meet the requirements of relevant food safety standards. The sampling volume for each sample shall not be less than the volume of the sample for 5 × inspection units, or shall be determined according to the inspection purpose. The requirements for the sampling of food samples are specified as follows.
3.2 Pre-packaged bee products
3.2.1 For individually packaged solid or semi-solid bee products of less than or equal to 1 000g or liquid bee products of less than or equal to 1 000mL, individually packaged products from the same batch shall be sampled.
3.2.2 For individually packaged liquid bee products of more than 500mL, shake or stir the liquid with a aseptic stick before sampling to make it uniform, and then collect samples. Individually packaged solid bee products of more than 1,000g: the individual package may be collected, or a suitable amount of sample may be taken from several different parts of the same packaging using the aseptic sampling tool and placed into a single aseptic sampling container.
3.3 Bee products in bulk or produced on site
The products shall be sampled by an aseptic sampler from the five parts of a package, and the specimens are placed in an aseptic sampling container.
