Course Information
Rapid microbiological methods provide a fast and cost-effective alternative, allowing companies to perform the bulk of their microbiological testing in-house. These methods allow for significantly reduced costs through the establishment of low-cost laboratories and the application of simple methods that can be performed by personnel without extensive laboratory experience or training.
ISO 22000:2018 is a food safety management system (FSMS) used by organizations across the food chain to help deliver food that is safe for consumers.
Rapid microbiological methods using 3MTM PetrifilmTM Rapid Plates will reduce the waiting time for results, are easy to interpret, accurate and simple. 3MTM PetrifilmTM Count Plates are accredited with AOAC, ISO 16140 & AFNOR certification.
