The objectives of this revision are—
(a) to transfer the procedure to the AS 5013 Series;
(b) to update the references; and
(c) to incorporate minor technical variations on the apparatus used in the test technique.

FOREWORD
Sweetened condensed milk is not a sterile product. Its keeping quality depends on its low
water activity and low head-space in the package. Contamination may arise from container
leakage, unsterile packages or contaminated ingredients. Spoilage may result if the sugar-
to-water ratio is too low or the head-space is too great.

METHOD

1 SCOPE
This Standard sets out procedures for the microbiological examination of sweetened
condensed milks and recombined sweetened condensed milks, flavoured and unflavoured.
NOTE: The methods are not intended for the examination of long shelf-life dairy products in
hermetically sealed containers that may have been produced by the traditional canning process or
by UHT processing followed by aseptic packaging.
