Coliform & E. coli Testing — Including E. coli O157:H7
FTS Laboratories provides coliform and E. coli testing to support routine hygiene verification, process control, and pathogen investigation. Total and fecal coliform testing serve as standard indicator organism results, helping confirm sanitation and processing controls are performing as expected across a wide range of food and ingredient products. For pathogenic concerns, we test for generic E. coli as well as E. coli O157:H7 and other Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), which are a primary focus in produce, ground beef, and other high-risk commodities and are frequently tied to FDA/USDA compliance holds and recall investigations. Whether you need routine indicator testing to verify a spec, or urgent pathogenic E. coli testing following a positive result, customer complaint, or contamination concern, our lab delivers timely, defensible results.
