All food manufacturers have experienced issues
from moulds, yeasts and/or bacteria at some point.
At times like these it is useful to have experienced
experts in food microbiology to call on.
Our microbiologists can visit your site, talk through
the issues you might have, and if necessary take
samples to determine the cause of the problem
- and help you solve it!
In making a foodstuff, there are a number of
potential sources of microorganisms. These
include:
• Raw ingredients
• Factory environment
• Factory equipment
• Operatives
When things go wrong it is not always
apparent what is causing the problem. It
could be, for example:
• Routine microbial counts may be out of
specification
• Customer complaints have drastically
increased because the product is spoiling
before the end of its shelf life
• Pathogens have been detected
or even
• Customers have become ill after eating
products!
