Abstract:

We studies food sampling plans for food inspection, used domestic and abroad, in order to harmonize the domestic ones to world standard. We have studied the relation between lot size and the sample size and found the relation for plant quarantine and quality inspection defined by Japan agricultural standard (JAS) law. We further studied the OC curve to compare the international standard, which is AQL of 6.5. JAS law recommded the switching of sampling plans from loose, normal and strict depending on the history. This improves the sharpness of sampling plan near AQL and decrease the cost for inspection. We further studied US's sampling plan described in code of federal regulations.
