Managing Microbiological Testing as a Preventative Control Verification (IFSH)

FDA’s final rule “Current Good Manufacturing Practice, Hazard Analysis, and Risk-Based Preventive Controls for Human Food” requires that preventive controls be verified to ensure that they are consistently and effectively implemented.  Verification procedures frequently take on the form of environmental and product microbiological testing.

Establishing a testing plan is resource intensive and may create concerns regarding expense, effectiveness, and potential liability. In this symposium, speakers from government, industry, and academia will address considerations of where to test, testing frequency, rapid methods, statistical process control, role of environmental testing, role of existing literature and predictive modeling for validation, and responses to findings.  Case studies will be presented and attendees will be engaged in break out groups to discuss strategies in developing effective testing programs.
