Organic, organo-mineral and inorganic fertilizers. Detection of Salmonella spp.. | Status: Current, Project Underway

1 Scope This document is applicable to fertilizing products, which are classified as PFC 1(A) and PFC 1(B) or the PFC 1(A) and PFC 1(B) component in PFC 7 of Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 [1]. However, the present method was not validated for blends. This document specifies a method for the detection of Salmonella spp. in organic, organo-mineral and inorganic fertilizers. The method is based on EN ISO 6579‑1 and its validated alternative methods for the detection of Salmonella spp. in food and feeding stuff. It requires three successive steps: A selective enrichment, an isolation on a chromogenic agar, and if positive a confirmation with a serological test (and if required, a selective media).
