Elevating environmental monitoring standards
At NEMIS, we are setting new standards in environmental monitoring, helping your facility to manage food safety risks for Listeria, Salmonella, E. coli, and ATP. Our cutting-edge solutions are designed to proactively identify and address risks, transforming the way food safety is upheld in production environments.
Meeting regulatory standards for food safety
Maintaining a robust environmental monitoring program (EMP) is critical for food production facilities to demonstrate compliance with regulations and confidently navigate audits. The correct sampling approach is a sign of a proactive safety culture.
In the European Union (EU), environmental monitoring in food production facilities is essential for ensuring food safety and compliance with regulatory standards. While specific EU regulations may not prescribe an exact number of samples or samplers, they emphasize a risk-based approach tailored to each facility’s unique conditions.
Stringent on-site environmental monitoring testing can significantly cut the need for physical sample transport, lowering CO2 emissions. At the same time you can reduce your ecological footprint by 15%
Key considerations for environmental monitoring programs (EMPs)
Hight and low-risk zones food facilities
- Zone 1 – highest theoretical risk and is defined as all/any piece of product contact surface
- Zone 2 – is in adjacent areas to open product and where indirect contamination can occur
- Zone 3 – requires some vector to transfer the contamination to Zone 1 or 2
- Zone 4 – is typically outside a high care environment, and cross contamination typically indicates a failure in barrier control
