June 6, 2025

In recognition of World Food Safety Day, Neogen® Corporation has announced the release of the Second Edition Neogen Environmental Monitoring Handbook, a comprehensive resource designed to help food and beverage manufacturers strengthen food safety programs and reduce contamination risks. 

The updated guide introduces critical new insights on validating risk-based controls, conducting root cause analysis, and leveraging data for continuous improvement, providing food safety professionals with science-backed strategies to enhance their environmental monitoring programs.

A Trusted Resource, Now More Essential Than Ever

Environmental monitoring is a critical component of food safety programs, involving sampling and testing the environment and equipment within a food manufacturing facility to help prevent cross-contamination of finished products. The Second Edition Neogen Environmental Monitoring Handbook builds on the success of its predecessor with three new chapters covering:

  • Using environmental monitoring to validate non-process controls and prerequisite programs
  • Best practices for conducting root cause analysis after contamination events
  • Data management and utilization in environmental monitoring programs

A Continued Commitment to Food Safety Excellence

The release of the Second Edition Neogen Environmental Monitoring Handbook underscores Neogen’s dedication to advancing global food safety. As the industry marks World Food Safety Day, this resource provides timely, expert-driven guidance to help manufacturers safeguard their products and consumers.

The Second Edition Neogen Environmental Monitoring Handbook is available now and can be downloaded at info.neogen.com/Environmental-Monitoring-Guide.
