No trend has been reported as being more impactful than the increase in the amount of analytical testing being conducted—especially the increase in testing for microorganisms.
For ready-to-eat food processors, developing and implementing pathogen environmental monitoring programs are important parts of their sanitation controls.
The ability to rapidly detect the presence of viable pathogens along the production chain is essential for determining intervention and control strategies.
The processing environment is particularly susceptible to food pathogens, making pathogen testing a crucial component of any environmental monitoring program.
Measuring coliforms is critical in a wide variety of source water applications, including required regulatory compliance testing, bottled water testing, and for fresh-cut produce or fruit rinse water .
