Generally speaking, the meat offered for sale in Canadian supermarkets is excellent in terms of its microbiological quality. Even so, regardless of the technology used, the possibility that undesirable micro-organisms may be present in raw meat cannot be eliminated completely...

CONT

Currently available detection methods do not allow for the routine analysis of all microorganisms that could be present in inadequately treated drinking water. Instead, microbiological quality is determined by testing drinking water for Escherichia coli, a bacterium that is always present in the intestines of humans and other animals and whose presence in drinking water would indicate faecal contamination of the water.
