Webinar on Ready- to-Eat Foods: Pathogens of Concern and Intervention Controls

Overview: 

Consumer demand for minimally processed products with a longer shelf-life has resulted in the mass production and distribution of chilled convenience RTE foods.

However, RTE foods remain a significant vehicle for foodborne pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes. The challenges are enormous because production of RTE foods frequently involves extensive processing and packaging.

Why You Should Attend: 

Attend this webinar to have a clear understanding of issues which may lead to contamination. The training session will dwell extensively on implementation of targeted control and how to use environmental monitoring programmes to verify the ongoing effectiveness of the sanitation programme and also to determine if further control measures are necessary to eliminate or reduce contamination. Attention will also be given to follow-up action as a result of detection of pathogenic organism. Specific food sector issues would also be discussed.
