Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 21871 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 34, Food products, Subcommittee SC 9,

Introduction
Because of the large variety of food and feed products, this horizontal method may not be appropriate in every
detail for certain products. In this case, different methods, which are specific to these products, may be used if
absolutely necessary for justified technical reasons. Nevertheless, every attempt should be made to apply this
horizontal method as far as possible.
When this International Standard is next reviewed, account will be taken of all information then available
regarding the extent to which this horizontal method has been followed and the reasons for deviations from
this method in the case of particular products.
The harmonization of test methods cannot be immediate, and for certain groups of products International
Standards and/or national standards may already exist that do not comply with this horizontal method. It is
hoped that when such standards are reviewed they will be changed to comply with this International Standard
so that eventually the only remaining departures from this horizontal method will be those necessary for
well-established technical reasons.

1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a horizontal method for the detection or the enumeration of low numbers
of viable presumptive Bacillus cereus by means of the most probable number technique. This International
Standard is applicable to
⎯ products intended for human consumption and the feeding of animals, and
⎯ environmental samples in the area of food production and food handling.
