It is an enterobacteria and, EFSA said: “monitoring enterobacteriaceae in the processing environment and in the
product… would be expected to reduce the prevalence of E sakazakii.”
However, agency scientists had also moved to end the controversy surrounding infant formula and salmonella. Examining whether the same test could detect salmonella in these products, they concluded: “it is not possible to establish a correlation between enterobacteriaceae and salmonella” here, although this pathogen is “rarely present” in these child dairy foods.
