The suitability of artificially contaminated milk powder as a substrate for salmonella reference samples and its stability under different storage conditions were studied. The need for a reconstitution step in the standard isolation method for salmonellas from milk powders was also investigated. When milk powder was examined in this way with a reconstitution step, differences in laboratory methods and/or storage times had no significant effect on the results after storage at 4 degrees C. With powder stored at room temperature there was a systematic decrease in the number of samples positive as the storage time increased. It is concluded therefore that milk powder contaminated with salmonellas should be stored at 4 degrees C. Examination of such milk powder with a reconstitution step yielded better results than without it and this step is therefore necessary for improving the reproducibility of the method. No significant differences were encountered between the standard isolation method and that used in the authors' laboratories. The results of this study indicate that milk powder is suitable as basic material for reference samples and that a reconstitution step should be included in the standard salmonella isolation procedure.
