OVERVIEW
Status: Completed but continuing protocol with different objectives.

Abstract:While seafood is generally safe to eat, we need to take precautionary measures to minimize food safety risks through careful selection and handling.There are certain types of seafood which are considered to be high risks as they are likely to cause food borne illnesses. A food sample can be tested for total coliform and faecal coliform to determine if it is contaminated.
Therefore, in our experiment, we had decided to detect the presence of the different types of coliform bacteria, which has a different level of risk each, in raw seafood. Through identifying the various common coliform bacteria that are present in seafood, we are able to be more aware of the risks associated with certain types of seafood. At the same time we would be able to take the necessary precautions to prevent any harm when handling or consuming them.
