Environmental Monitoring for Pathogens

The document outlines an environmental monitoring program that tests various areas in a food production facility for pathogens on a quarterly basis. It lists the areas to be tested, including raw receiving bins and conveyors. It also specifies the organism to be tested for in each area, the number of tests per area, sampling method, test method, and corrective actions to be taken if tests are positive. The justification section explains that areas are being tested due to their proximity to food contact surfaces and because certain pathogens are known to be present in similar areas. If tests are positive, areas will be recleaned and retested.
