of the program. Most testing programs are N = 60/c = 0 programs where sixty 2.5-g specimens are collected and composited for a presence/absence test. With one sample, this testing will ensure with a 95 percent confidence interval that not more than 5 percent of specimens will exceed 1 CFU/2.5 g of the pathogens of interest to the extent that the sampling represents the lot from which it was taken. Fortunately, GAP programs are largely effective, resulting in very few positive tests and a very lo
