BS EN ISO 11290-1:2017 Any weight 5 n sample units are collected of a minimum of 100 g each. If batches are identified in the CHED, the sample units shall be collected from the different batches randomly chosen from the consignment. If batches cannot be identified, the sample units are collected randomly from the consignment. Pooling of sample units is not allowed. Each sample unit shall be tested separately.

Regulation 2(2), (3), (6) and Schedule 3 make provisions in relation to the sampling and analyses of food and feed of non-animal origin for the hazard Listeria . Schedule 3 sets out a new Annex outlining the sampling procedure and analytical reference method for the control of the presence of Listeria in food. Regulation 2(4) substitutes Annex I with Schedule 1, which contains the list of food and feed of non-animal origin from certain third countries, which is subject to a temporary increase in official controls at border control posts in Great Britain. Regulation 2(5) substitutes Table 1 in Annex II, with Schedule 2. This substitutes the respective table containing the lists of food and feed of non-animal origin from certain third countries subject to special conditions for entry into Great Britain due to contamination risks from the specified hazards. Regulation 3 makes consequential amendments to the Official Controls (Imports of High Risk Food and Feed of Non-Animal Origin) (Amendment of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 ) (England) Regulations 2022. In each Schedule, standards are specified within some footnotes to show requirements for the analytical methods and laboratories used.
