OUTCOME OF BACTERIOLOGICAL LABORATORY EXAMINATION IN GEORGIA (BASED ON 2019-2022 MATERIALS)

Аннотация

Microbial contamination is common public health risk related with food safety issue in the food market. Microbial contamination affects developed and developing countries as well in a bad way. In total, National food Agency has examined 4960 samples of foodstuffs between 2019 and 2022. Microbial contamination has been revealed in case of 642 samples. In 2021 and 2022 the cases of salmonella and brucella experienced an upward trend, however, the number of colibacters in water has been diminished. On the grounds of disadvantaged outcome of bacteriological laboratory research, we recommend comfortable controlling bodies to toughen hygiene monitoring of foodstuffs on all stages of production.
