Introduction to Food Microbiology Workshop

Microbiological hazards can be a significant risk for most food businesses. This workshop will support you in developing an understanding of the micro-organisms of concern to your products and processes. We will also share ways to control, manage and monitor these in your manufacturing site.

In the workshop we will discuss the following:

• Groups of micro-organisms​
• Growth and survival of micro-organisms in food
• Food micro-organisms of concern
• How to develop a food microbiological testing plan
• How to interpret microbiological test results
• Sources of information for microbiological guidelines
• Swabbing and environmental monitoring

This is an interactive workshop held at ZERO2FIVE Food Industry Centre.
