A sample size of 10 is required. The criteria for seizure are the existence of any of the following (CPG 7108.09):

1. Coliform density greater than 20/g (by MPN method) in 20% of the samples

2. E. coli density greater than 3.6/g (MPN) in 20% of the samples

3. Coagulase-positive staphylococci density greater than 3.6/g (MPN) in 20% of the samples

4. Aerobic plate count (at 35°C) greater than 100,000/g as a geometric average of all the subsamples

For this plan, the sample size is 10 and the acceptance number is 0. It is understood, however, that a change is expected that will increase the acceptance number to 1. The statistics in Table 7-12 apply to these two sampling procedures.

For canned salmon adulteration involving decomposition, seizure is authorized if examination by two analysts in accordance with the sampling procedures shows either (CPG 7108.10)

• number of defective (class II or III) cans equal to or exceeding the action numbers, or

• two or more class III cans in either the first or the total sample.

The plans in this Compliance Policy Guide are double three-class plans. Different plans are required for different lot sizes. The various plans for 1/4-pound through 1-pound
