The importance of environmental monitoring
Addressing smaller issues, before they become big problems.
We’re experiencing a shift in food safety and quality strategies. Traditional food testing focuses on raw materials and finished product. Today, environmental monitoring offers a more preventive approach. By expanding the testing to the entire food processing environment, you can identify and correct potential issues before they lead to a major problem or recall.
