• Use Violet Red Bile Glucose (VRBG) Agar for examination of food, animal feed, and environmental samples, for the presence of indicator groups such as coliforms

• One of the most common groups of bacteria employed as indicator organisms by the food industry are the coliforms, which can be regarded as a subgroup within the Enterobacteriaceae
• However, to improve assessment of food safety and quality by the food industry, there has been a move towards testing for total Enterobacteriaceae rather than limiting testing to coliforms
• Easy-to-read results: due to inclusion of neutral red indicator and crystal violet in the medium Enterobacteriaceae form purple pink colored colonies
