This online training course provides insights into Microbiological Criteria. We will focus on how microbiological criteria are set, with reference to legal, regulatory, and commonly accepted standards, alongside customer specifications. We will cover sources of information, examples of Microbiological Criteria for a variety of different foodstuffs, what constitutes and adverse test result, and the interrelations between ingredient, in-process, and finished product microbiology.
Delegates will gain awareness of the significance of different microorganisms in a variety of sample types, why various parties may set differing Microbiological Criteria, how to approach setting their own Microbiological Criteria for in-house acceptance and supplier specifications.
This training is designed for Quality and Technical professionals with responsibility for setting or approving Microbiological Criteria, planning, or organising Microbiological Testing programmes, and those determining actions, including Microbiological Investigations, in response to Microbiological Results.
