Webinar: OMG I have an out-of-spec micro sample, what should I do?

Sidebar Image

Well-managed or not, any food company may occasionally experience a laboratory test result that is out-of-specification (OOS).  An OOS data point occurs when the value does not meet a predetermined level (specification), suggesting that a process is out of control or you are inheriting a supplier problem.  Rather than irrationally navigating the drama of an OOS, companies that use a rational scientific approach and have a predetermined OOS plan of action are much better positioned to determine recall risk and food safety risk.   

In this webinar Dr. Douglas Marshall, Chief Scientific Officer of Eurofins Microbiology, discusses the best practices to help resolve product and environmental contamination events with focus on: 

  • Effective root cause analysis 
  • Deployment of corrective actions 
  • Consideration of successful long-term preventive actions
