Hygiene monitoring: featured studies and research

White Paper: Third-party study demonstrates not all ATP systems produce stable, consistent results.

When you make the high-risk decision to start food production, you need data you can trust. Unstable or inconsistent results from your ATP testing system could mean you start production when an area may not be properly cleaned or lose valuable time from unnecessary re-cleaning. This study compares ATP testing systems and evaluates the impact of time and temperature on the stability and consistency of results.

Hygiene monitoring’s role in Environmental monitoring

Cleaning is one of the most critical actions you can take to ensure hygienic conditions to produce safe products. Hygiene monitoring, which is a component of environmental monitoring, can help verify you are cleaning effectively and identify problem areas you can address to improve the cleanliness of your operation.

How 3M™ Clean-Trace™ utilizes ATP testing technology

Microbes and product residue contain Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), an indicator of biological residues that can be easily detected to measure cleanliness quickly. Unlike other methods, ATP testing is rapid, sensitive, quantitative and simple.

How to assess risk in your facility

When implementing hygiene monitoring test point selection for ATP testing in your facility, it’s important to analyze risk with questions similar to these:
- How significant is the hazard?
- How close is the surface to the food?
- What is the probability the hazard will occur?
- How hard is it to clean the surface?
Determining the number of test points to sample will depend on the physical size of the manufacturing operation and complexity or number of steps involved in the manufacturing process.

Using hygiene monitoring data to meet regulations and optimize processes and resources

A hygiene monitoring and management system can do more for your operations than verify cleaning and document that you have cleaned effectively. In this webinar, Dr. Burcu Yordem of 3M Food Safety discusses how to turn hygiene monitoring data into actionable information to help optimize your processes and use of resources.
