), will Health Canada accept the results of testing of the same product against additional, non-spore forming bacteria, using 10 cultures?
Once a general bactericidal claim has been established, a minimum of 10 cultures per microorganism per batch, with no failures, may be found sufficient to support additional claims against non-spore forming bacteria. Additionally, as indicated in question 7.1, testing against only 2 separately compounded product batches should suffice to support the additional claims.
