A single pathogen positive can be a one-off event. Repeated positives are a system failure. Produco investigates pathogen issues and contamination events thoroughly – finding the root cause, not just treating the symptom – and builds the controls that stop it from happening again.
Pathogen and Contamination Issues
How Produco approaches pathogen and contamination investigations
- Review of current HACCP controls for the relevant hazard
- Environmental monitoring programme review
- Cleaning and sanitation programme assessment
- Root cause analysis – identifying where the control is failing
- Corrective action development and implementation support
- Validation of new controls before returning to production
- Staff training on pathogen awareness and hygiene practices
We have worked through complex pathogen investigations in some of NZ’s most demanding food manufacturing environments. We know what to look for and how to fix it.
