The food on the plate that comes to your table with a very nice presentation in a very elegant restaurant can put you in the hospital if hygiene is not taken care of. All ready-to-eat foods must comply with certain microbiological criteria.

Ready meals are divided into four main sections in the "TGK Microbiological Criteria Regulation". These parts are; ready-to-eat meat-vegetable dishes, ready-to-eat salads and appetizers, all kinds of ready-to-eat baked goods, and ready-to-eat desserts.

The microbiological analyzes and limits of these parts are as follows.
