Summary

One hundred infant milk formulae (IMFs), representative of the 10 leading brands available in the UK, were subjected to a variety of preparation and storage conditions. Each IMF was the subject of triplicate trials in which duplicate samples were analyzed. All IMFs analyzed immediately after reconstitution were of satisfactory bacteriological quality, exhibiting a total aerobic count of less than 10,000 CFU/g (mean 2.3 x 100 CFU/g) and a Bacillus cereus count of less than 1000 CFU/g of powder (mean 1.3 x 100 CFU/g) for formulae containing this bacterium). The bacteriological quality of an IMF depended on the type and number of organisms initially present and on product temperature and duration of product storage. Detailed results are given.
