Environmental Monitoring and Control Programs (EMP/ECP) have always been critical in assuring food safety. Today, with continuing trends of swab-a-thons, EMPs and ECPs have taken on additional importance.
TAG’s experienced team can help lower your operational and regulatory risks through the assessment of your facility’s effectiveness of cleaning, sanitation, employee hygiene, and product/process flow.
TAG can develop mitigating strategies; reduce loss of productivity due to downtime; and develop a customized environmental monitoring program designed to seek and destroy environmental contaminants.
To determine if your environmental control strategy is effectively monitoring and controlling your environment, regulators will look at all your application of all these strategies, and how they protect your product. They are looking at it from the very same lens, and they will swab all zones, using Whole Genome Sequencing to match anything in their database.
While an onsite review and analysis of your EMPs and ECPs is the ideal way to assess programs to ensure the consistent management of risks, TAG has developed a virtual program by which we can provide a similar review and analysis, looking at your facility “through your eyes.” Contact us to learn more!
