MicroTally® Cartridge FAQs

  • Does FSIS approve of MicroTally® sampling for food products?

    USDA/FSIS has issued a Letter of No Objection covering:

    • Beef trim pathogen and indicator organism sampling via MSD™ and CSD™ sampling

    • Poultry pathogen and indicator organism sampling using the MicroTally® Mitt

    In addition, USDA/FSIS recently named “Polyolefin Cloth” sampling as their official pathogen sampling method for their in-plant inspectors.

  • Is it necessary to use both MicroTally® Cartridges and MicroTally® Baseplates to implement CSD or continuous sampling? 

    Yes, as shown in this video.

  • Can the MicroTally® Swabs be used independently of the MicroTally® Cartridges and MicroTally® Baseplates? 

    Yes, see MSD testing. However, we highly recommend using the MicroTally® Mitt for this purpose as it offers a significantly enhanced sampling experience tailored to meet your needs.

  • Where can I find your policies?

  • What problems does the MicroTally® sampling system address?

    The MicroTally® sampling system: 

    • Samples a much greater proportion of the product

    • Increase the sampling representativeness

    • Eliminates product loss from sampling

    • Reduces hazardous waste disposal costs

    • Reduces sampling time and injury risks

    • Reduces the amount of enrichment media needed

  • On which sample matrices can MicroTally® products NOT be used?

    MicroTally® spun polymer cloth is not intended for some fine powders or liquids that may fill capture sites, interfering with the sampling process. 

    MicroTally® spun polymer cloth should not be used if the suspected contamination is inherently internal to the product, and therefore not accessible for sampling.

  • On which sample matrices can MicroTally® products be used?

    MicroTally® products are intended for use on any solid food where the presence of microbial pathogens or toxins, on the external surface of the product, is of concern.

    MicroTally® spun polymer cloth as a part of the manual and continuous sampling devices, has been approved by the USDA for beef trim sampling for pathogens and indicator organisms.

    MicroTally® spun polymer cloth has also been scientifically proven effective in sampling bacteria on produce such as lettuce.
