Bacterial pathogens in seed powder and plant-based protein powder - April 1, 2016 to March 31, 2018 : food microbiology - targeted surveys - final report.: A104-241/2019E-PDF
"Over the course of this study (April 1, 2016 to March 31, 2018), samples of seed powder (583), and plant-based protein powder (245) were collected from retail locations in 11 cities across Canada. The samples were tested for generic Escherichia coli (E. coli) and the following bacterial pathogens of concern: Salmonella species (spp.), B. cereus, Clostridium perfringens (C. perfringens) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Generic E. coli is an indicator of the overall sanitation conditions throughout the food chain from production to the point of sale. … Overall, our survey results show that most seed powder and plant-based protein powder products available for sale at retail in Canada have been produced under sanitary conditions and are safe for consumption. However, our results do indicate that a loss of sanitation controls along the food production chain can occur. Consequently, as with all foods, safe handling practices are recommended for producers, retailers and consumers"--Summary, pages 2, 3.
