Proposal for a Continuing Activity for Development, Evaluation, and Preparation for Publication of Standard Methods for the Examination of Dairy Products1

ABSTRACT

One of the most widely used publications on standard methods for microbiological testing is Standard Methods for the Examination of Dairy Products (SMEDP). Successive revisions of SMEDP have primarily resulted from a concentrated effort by a relatively large volunteer group of interested persons for a rather short time before each revision. In spite of the general acceptance and wide use of these methods, there is no organized continuing activity for their development and evaluation. This has resulted, at least in the opinion of some, in publication of an occasional standard method that was neither good nor standard. Many suggestions have been made [Olson (2), Lewis and Foter (1), and Walter (3)] that were designed to put the development, evaluation, and preparation for publication of SMEDP on a firmer foundation. Essentially, the authors of these suggestions felt that the task of revising SMEDP, together with the development of the necessary supporting data, is too great and too important to public health, as well as to the dairy industry, to be handled entirely as an extracurricular activity by a staff of volunteers.
