Leveraging Microbiological Techniques and Strategies for a Safer Food Supply Chain Technical Webinar
In the food industry, products face constant risks of microbiological contamination, particularly from common pathogens like E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, and Campylobacter spp. In addition to these pathogens, indicator organisms such as aerobic bacteria, coliform, yeast and mold, and E. coli, among others, can also signal potential quality issues. The presence of these organisms presents an ongoing challenge for ensuring food safety, which can lead to foodborne illnesses for consumers and damaging product recalls for manufacturers. Prioritizing effective management and control of these microorganisms is vital for the food and other related industries.
Discover more about this insightful topic by joining our upcoming technical webinar titled “Leveraging Microbiological Techniques and Strategies for a Safer Food Supply Chain.” Gain invaluable learnings on the causes of microbial contamination in the food industry, factors affecting microbial growth in food, and commonly tested microbiological parameters, among others, from Ms. Joan Velasco, a Technical Services Group Associate at Glenwood Technologies International, Inc. Additionally, learn from Ms. Alexis Marbella, Product Specialist – Food Micro Division at Glenwood Technologies International, Inc., as she discusses how to properly set up a microbiology laboratory and the latest technologies and innovations in microbiological analysis.
