Microbiological control of the work environment - smears, impressions, packaging and objects in contact with food

In food production it is not only the microbiological safety of raw materials, semi-finished products, etc., that is important, but also the microbiological safety of the work/production environment. It is necessary to check everything that comes into contact with food or raw materials, whether it is work surfaces, tables, walls, technological containers or machines, including all their components.

Air quality in food processing plants is also an important factor.

It goes without saying that microbiological control is essential for all objects intended for contact with food (packaging, foil, cups, trays, bowls, etc.)
