s hard to detect due to localized and low-level contamination. In batches where the prevalence of the organism was less than 1%, sampling plans had a chance of over 50% to accept the set still.
Increasing the total sample mass could help detect low-prevalence and low-level hazards of the organism. Still, the researchers also emphasize that very high sample numbers would not necessarily be more powerful due to the high costs involved, for example, moving closer to testing all products produced.
