BASIC FOOD MICROBIOLOGYWORKSHOP
ASSESSMENT
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
The primary focus of any food safety management system
should be on the effective management and control of the
preventive programmes such as GMPs and HACCP.
Microbiological monitoring programmes will simply verify
whether these preventive measures are working.
This course will teach you how to use a scientific approach
when compiling your Environmental Monitoring
Programme (EMP), and how to establish microbiological
criteria using legislation and guidelines. The Environmental
Monitoring Programme (EMP) should be an important
management tool to provide data which should tell you
whether the GMPs are working or not.
In this course you will learn about the main food
pathogens, how to identify which food pathogens are a
risk to your product, how to select your food microbiology
testing laboratory, interpretation of your lab results and
when and how to take corrective action when results are
out of specification.
