Join NC State University’s Food Safety Extension Lab for a one-day, hands on workshop that will provide insight into developing and implementing a written environmental monitoring plan. Participants will have the opportunity to practice identifying and sampling from high-risk sampling locations in an operational food processing facility and gain insight into topics such as:

• Use of hygienic indicators, such as ATP or indicator microorganisms, to verify cleaning and sanitizing procedures
• Use of pathogen sampling plans, exploring microorganisms like Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella
• Learn the necessary components of a written monitoring plan
• Identify sampling tools and practice sampling techniques
• Track and interpret sampling results and corrective actions
• Develop a mock plan using an active processing facility
