Additives: preservatives, food coloring, sweeteners, antioxidants, antimold agents, and others
Pathogenic microorganisms: enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O26, O104, O111 and O157, Listeria monocytogenes, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, etc.
Standards for constituents: items defined in the standards for constituents (such as the number of bacteria, coliform bacteria, and radioactive materials (excluding pathogenic microorganisms)), shellfish poisons (diarrheic shellfish poisons, paralytic shellfish poisons), and others
