1. As discussed in meeting, group of Veterinary drugs for testing in Meat and Meat products yet to be
decided. 2. Table 2 in APPENDIX B of FSSAI regulations dealing with MIcrobiological parameters of Milk and Milk products
mention the microbiological limits at production stage by the industry. Therefore as in FSSAI, regulations no defined limits
are written for Microbiological analysis of Milk and Milk Products so the parameters and limits written for Cheese samples are
those as were followed under PFA, act .
