April 26, 2023 RFA Technical Webcast:“Sanitation Considerations in Dry and Low Moisture Environments”
REGISTER HERE for this live, interactive Event that you can join from your office! Date and Time: * Wednesday, April 26, from 2:00 p.m.- 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time (1:00 p.m.-2:00 p.m. Central, 12:00 p.m.-1:00 p.m. Mountain, 11:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. Pacific) Overview: Dry and low moisture processing environments introduce unique food safety risks. The limitation of water in these environments makes the detection and control of environmental pathogens and allergens different than in wet environments. Therefore, sanitation measures should be directed specifically towards low or no moisture environments to effectively mitigate their associated risk. This webinar will review cleaning and sanitizing options for dry and low moisture environments. After this webinar, you’ll be better able to identify and address challenges of sanitation in dry and low moisture process environments. This knowledge can be used to increase cleaning effectiveness, production efficacy, and product quality while mitigating recall risks.
