Yeast & Mold Count Plate

Overview

According to WHO (World Health Organization) estimates, every year there is over 600 million population felling ill after ingesting contaminated food, over 420,000 deaths caused owing to foodborne illnesses. Contaminants can take place at every stage of the food industry chain, from beginning manufacture process down to the food consumer’s kitchens. Also, driven by the benefits, some producers alter the food contents on purposes to deceive consumers. The increasing pervasiveness of diseases caused by contaminated food intake has become a major public health concern for all high & low-income countries in the world.
