| during operations, sufficient to prevent direct | 5 |
| contamination or adulteration of products. | 6 |
| (2) The Sanitation SOPs must be signed and dated by the | 7 |
| individual with overall authority on-site or a higher level | 8 |

| the analysis of E. coli that is approved as an AOAC | 4 |
| Official Method of the AOAC International (formerly the | 5 |
