An Integrated Approach to Controlling Food Safety Risks

The optimum approach to ensure effective food safety solutions involves an analysis of the risks associated with all possible vectors of contamination. For restaurants and food retailers, these include all food ingredients, equipment and utensils, food preparation and dining environments, coolers and freezers, serving sites, restrooms, and all surrounding areas. It also includes employees and customers.

After a careful evaluation of these possible vectors of contamination, solutions must be identified that systematically eliminate risks. Some of the solutions that should be considered include pasteurization or sterilization of ingredients, effective handwashing, and hand sanitation solutions, dish sanitizers, ice machine sanitation technologies, validated surface sanitation products, and antimicrobial air treatment systems that continually treat air surfaces throughout the environment.

This webinar will discuss both the evaluation of risks and available solutions.

Attendees will learn:

• Identification of food safety risks vectors
• Systematic interventions to address all vectors of contamination
• Emerging technologies to address viral hazards
• Integrating technologies to control or eliminate microbiological contamination associated with food ingredients and environmental vectors
