Validation Using Enterococcus faecium NRRL B-2354
The Almond Board of California (ABC) funded
research projects with Silliker Research
Center, Michigan State University, The National
Food Laboratory, and Deibel
Laboratories, Inc. in an attempt to identify
surrogates for Salmonella Enteritidis Phage
Type 30 (SE PT 30) for use in microbiological
challenges of almond processing. After
evaluating the results of those research projects,
the ABC Technical Expert Review Panel
(TERP) identified Enterococcus faecium NRRL B-2354
as a surrogate for validation of
almond thermal processes. The following procedures
for inoculation of almonds, sample
handling, and enumeration of treated samples
provide guidelines for use in validation
trials for almond processing.

Robert H. Deibel, Ph.D., founder of Deibel

from assistant bacteriologist to chief of the
bacteriology division. After completing his Ph.D. in
1962, he became a professor, first at Cornell and two

Throughout his career, he has worked with food
businesses nationwide on spoilage and food safety
issues. Today, he owns and operates eight laboratories
across the United States and one and Canada and
continues to serve the food industry.
“Dr. Robert Deibel’s practical, yet science-based
approach to problem-solving has made him uniquely able
to bridge science and application resulting in safer
meat products,” Boyle said.
