While moisture and cross-contamination are often considered the main culprits, controlling the pathogen and preventing outbreaks requires a comprehensive approach that includes heightened process standards, effective chemistries and strict behavioral norms.
By using the multi-pronged approach, discussed in-depth in the following eBook, protein processors can operate with the levels of caution that today’s food safety environment demands.
Sanitizer in powder form, approved to kill organisms and common food pathogens in entryways, flowers, foot pans and boots.
A traceable sanitizer and disinfectant that penetrates and bills biofilms. Great on food contact surfaces with 6+ log reduction of Listeria monocytogenes.
A no-phosphate, two-part solution that helps remove and control biofilm and organic contaminants.
An FDA and USDA cleared, acid-based food antimicrobial applied directly into the product package prior to vacuum sealing.
Based on our extensive experience supporting food safety in meat processing facilities and input from the FDA, USDA-FSIS and the Meat Institute guidelines around Listeria, Ecolab recommends focusing on the following areas outlined in the eBook as a starting point to control Listeria.
If you’re curious about where your facility’s Listeria program needs strengthening, we’re here to help. Ecolab can do a full survey of your operation, complete with guidance on how to better control Listeria at key points in the production process.
