Food processing, handling and storage facilities can create
conditions that allow microorganisms to become established and
thrive. Some of these microorganisms have the potential to
cause foodborne illness if they contaminate food products.
Identifying niche locations and hotspots that house these
microorganisms through both routine and investigative
environmental programs is critical for producers of ready-to-
eat foods and raw agricultural commodities.

This two-day workshop is intended to provide you
with knowledge and best practices on developing and
implementing an effective Pathogen Environmental
Monitoring (PEM) program.

- Become familiar with environmental foodborne pathogens,
- Learn how to collect swabs,
- Identify issues through case studies from the industry,
