 C. Methods of inspection.

(1) Shelf life. The contractor shall provide a certificate of conformance that the 

product has a 3 year shelf life when stored at 80oF. Government verification may include 

storage for 6 months at 100oF or 36 months at 80oF. Upon completion of either storage 

period, the product will be subjected to a sensory evaluation panel for appearance and 

palatability and must receive an overall a score of 5 or higher based on a 9 point 

hedonic scale to be considered acceptable. 

(2) Net weight. The net weight of the filled and sealed pouches shall be determined 

by weighing each sample unit on a suitable scale tared with a representative empty pouch. 

Results shall be reported to the nearest gram.

(3) Nutrient content. The sample to be analyzed shall be a composite of eight 

filled and sealed pouches that have been selected at random from the lot. The composited 

sample shall be prepared (see NOTE) and analyzed for protein content, fat content, and 

sodium content in accordance with the following methods of the Official Methods of 

Analysis of AOAC International:

Test Method Number(s)

Protein 988.05, 991.20

Fat 925.12, 2008.06

Sodium 985.35, 984.27

Test results for protein and fat shall be reported to the nearest 0.1 percent. Test 

results for sodium content shall be reported to the nearest 1.0 mg per 100 grams. Any 

result not conforming to the requirements specified in Section C of this Performancebased Contract Requirements document shall be cause for rejection of the lot.

NOTE: The USDA will use AOAC method 983.18 for preparation of the sample.

(4) Moisture content testing. Eight filled and sealed pouches shall be selected at 

random from the lot regardless of lot size. The contents of each pouch shall be blended 

to uniformity using a blender or a food processor. The blending must be rapid and 

conducted in such a way that minimum heat is transferred to the product and that the 

product has minimum exposure to atmospheric moisture. Each sample shall be tested for 

moisture content in accordance with the Official Methods of Analysis of the AOAC method 

926.08 except that the temperature-time cycle for moisture analysis shall be modified by 

using a temperature of 70oC for 16 hours at a pressure of not more than 100 mm of mercury. 

Test results shall be reported to the nearest 0.1 percent. Any result not conforming to 

the requirements specified in Section C of this Performance-based Contract Requirements 

document shall be cause for rejection of the lot.

(5) Microbiological testing. Five filled and sealed pouches of finished product 

shall be selected at random from the lot regardless of lot size. The contents of each 

sample bag shall be tested for aerobic plate count in accordance with the Official 

Methods of Analysis of the AOAC, method 966.23 or 990.12 and E.coli in accordance with 

the Official Methods of Analysis of the AOAC, method 966.24. The diluent shall be added 

to each sample of dry product and allowed to stand for 15 minutes before the blending of 

that sample. Continue as directed. Any result not conforming to the requirements 

specified in Section C of this Performance-based Contract Requirements document shall be 

cause for rejection of the lot.
