scope:
Specifies a microbiological screening method for the detection of irradiation treatment of herbs and spices, using the combined direct epifluorescent filter technique (DEFT) and aerobic plate count (APC). The DEFT/APC technique is not radiation specific, therefore, it is necessary to confirm positive results using a standardized method to specifically prove an irradiation treatment of the suspected food.
