3M Environmental Monitoring Webinar Series with Dr. Martin Wiedmann
Effective environmental monitoring programs, as part of an overall food safety system, can help to extend product shelf life, reduce risk of recalls, reduce costs, increase customer satisfaction, and increase revenue. By shifting the emphasis from finished product testing to proactive prevention, identification and elimination of sources of food contamination can occur before they create a serious and costly problem.
This five-part on-demand webinar series offers end-to-end content about environmental monitoring that builds in complexity as you progress through the program. It is beneficial for companies starting to implement environmental monitoring programs, companies working through implementation and its challenges, as well as companies who have an existing program and are looking for ways to enhance it.
