United Sugars offers many of our granulated and liquid sugars in a “Canners” grade. To qualify as “Canners” Sugar, Granulated and Liquid Sugars must meet the bacterial standards of the National Food Processors Association in addition to other United Sugars Corporation specifications. Our factory and research laboratories routinely sample and perform analytical and microbiological tests on grades of Granulated and Liquid Sugars which include Sanding, Unigran, Coarse, Fine, and Liquid Type O.
National Food Processors Association Bacterial Standards for Sugar
Total Thermophilic Spore Count:
For the five samples examined, there shall be a maximum of not more than 150
spores and an average of or more than 125 spores per 10 grams of sugar.
Flat Sour Spores:
For the five samples examined, there shall be a maximum of not more than 75
spores and an average of not more than 50 spores per 10 grams of sugar.
Thermophilic Anaerobic Spores:
These shall be present in not more than three (60%) of the five samples and
in any one sample to the extent of not more than four (>65%) of six tubes
inoculated by the standard procedures.
Sulfide Spoilage Spores:
These shall be present in not more than two (40%) of the five samples and in
any one sample to the extent of not more than 5 spores per 10 grams. This would
be equivalent to two colonies in the six inoculated tubes.
Bacterial standards from the National Food Processors Association were established
in 1931 with subsequent updating.
