This document specifies a horizontal method for

  • the enumeration of L. monocytogenes, and

  • the enumeration of Listeria spp. (including L. monocytogenes).

This document is applicable to

  • products intended for human consumption and for the feeding of animals, and

  • environmental samples in the area of food production and food handling.

It is possible that certain additionally described Listeria species may not be enumerated or confirmed by this method.[3],[6],[9],[11]
