Recent high-profile recalls have put a spotlight on the risk of Listeria monocytogenes contamination in ready-to-eat (RTE) food manufacturing facilities. This workshop is intended to build knowledge and communicate best practices for industry and responsible staff.
The workshop covers all the relevant prerequisites and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) principles to ensure the implementation of a food safety management system. The content is based on the core principles of Listeria pathogen control developed by Health Canada and is intended to help identify focused practices which are critical to effective Listeria control in a HACCP system.
