Environmental Pathogen Management Series
When it comes to pathogens, there have always been two categories of food: low-risk and high-risk. Traditionally, this distinction was based on the potential of pathogens to contaminate and, subsequently, grow in the product.
However, an increased number of food poisoning outbreaks have occurred with foods like fresh and frozen vegetables, ice cream, cereals, and peanut butter, which have challenged our view of “low-risk” foods.
In this third article from our short series on environmental pathogen management in the food industry, Jack van der Sanden suggests that no factory is truly safe, and that it is important to establish a tailor-made pathogen surveillance program based on the type of food that is being made.
