Webinar: The Positives of Pathogen Positives
In this presentation, Dr. DeMarco illustrates how positive pathogen results can be used to make real improvements in processes, facilitating a safer production environment with lower overall contamination risks and safer food for the consumer. By the end of the presentation, you should have a new understanding that positive pathogen test results should be welcomed, maybe even loved.
Presumptive and/or confirmed positive pathogen test results are occasionally seen and must be reported with environmental samples and with finished products or ingredients. The consequences of a positive at times can be very costly and painful for the company involved and therefore may be met with denial, skepticism, and fear. While the negative financial and often legal impacts of positive results are constantly emphasized, the benefits of finding pathogens are rarely mentioned.
All positive pathogen results MUST be bad, right? Not so fast!
