Principles of an Environmental Monitoring Program for the Management of Listeria monocytogenes
This guidance sets out effective environmental hygiene management using monitoring and preventative and corrective actions and how to interpret this data and relate it to other results from raw materials, components and product. This gives much-needed detail to support good hygiene practice particularly for SMEs and for enforcement not only by Competent Authorities but also commercially, e.g. by FBOs buying ready to eat ingredients from suppliers and for final product retail customers.
