Questions and Answers for FDA-18-1195170 (Microbial Analysis of FDA Regulated Foods) #2

1. Virus:

Can we use an adapted kit like bioMerieux's ceeram method (same targets as FDA BAM/ISO method) in place of FDA BAM prescribed method. Or follow FDA BAM method but use a different detection instrument (ie., ABI 7500 or bioMerieux's GeneUP open platform) ?

It is possible if we have more information about other validated methods, which are better than the current method. This method is currently being validated by AOAC under the guidance of a FDA virologist, so it may be acceptable depending on the validation study results.
