Johnson, and Robert P. Jechorek, rtech Laboratories, PO Box 64101, St. Paul, MN 55164-0101, Tel: 651-481-2236, Fax: 651-486-0837, E-mail: rpjechorek@landolakes.com. The SET 2 collaborative study was performed in 2006 and collaborative study manuscript has been submitted to the Methods Committee for review. Continue study.

(13) 2001.09 Salmonella in Selected Foods by Immuno-Concentration Salmonella (ICS) and Enzyme-Linked Immunofuorescent Assay (ELFA): Study Directors Wendy A. McMahon and Ronald L. Johnson. This method was approved First Action for selected foods in 2001 and subsequently approved First Action for all foods in 2004. This method was granted Final Action status in 2006; therefore, the General Referee recommends that this topic be discontinued.

This method was approved First Action for selected foods in 2001 and subsequently approved First Action for all foods in 2004. This method was granted Final Action status in 2006; therefore, the General Referee recommends that this topic be discontinued.

(15) 2001.08 Salmonella in Selected Foods by Immuno-Concentration (ICS) and Selective Plate (BS, HE, XLD) Procedure: Study Directors Wendy A. McMahon and Ronald L. Johnson. This method was approved First Action for selected foods in 2001 and subsequently approved First Action for all foods in 2004. This method was granted Final Action status in 2006; therefore, the General Referee recommends that this topic be discontinued.

(16) 2004.03 Evaluation of VIDAS Salmonella (SLM) Immunoassay Method with Rappaport-Vassiliadis (RV) Medium for the Detection of Salmonella in Foods: Study Directors Wendy A. McMahon and Ronald L. Johnson. This method was granted Final Action status in 2006; therefore, the General Referee recommends that this topic be discontinued.

(17) 2002.08 Detection of Botulinal Toxins A, B, E, and F from Culture Supernatants, Amplified ELISA Procedure: Study Director Joseph L. Ferreira, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Rd, NCID, Mailstop G-29, Atlanta, GA 30333, Tel: 404-639-0896, Fax: 404-639-4290, E-mail: jferreira@cdc.gov. Continue study.

(18) 2005.03 Detection and Confirmed Quantitation of Coliforms and E. coli in Foods, SimPlate Coliform and E. coli Color Indicator: Study Director Philip T. Feldsine. This method was adopted First Action in 2005. No adverse comments have been received; therefore, the Study Director recommends that the First Action Method be adopted Final Action. The General Referee concurs. Continue study.
