Samples of processed rice from four different brands showed counts of mesophilic aerobic bacteria from 1x102 to 5x103 for milled rice and from 1x106 to 6.8x106 cells g-1 for brown rice. Rice seeds contaminated by milling had extensive counts including faecal coliforms. In cooked rice, no microbial growth was noted during 4 days at room temperature (spring season, 15-20 deg C) and at least 2 weeks at 4 deg C. No contamination was detected in cooked rice packs. A rapid and highly reliable procedure for detection of microorganisms in cooked rice is proposed.
