Bacteria & Mold - Importance in Food and the Environment
Food sustains life. However, when food is improperly processed or handled, it can also threaten health. Food service, food supply and processing companies must take action to assess their risk, monitor their operations, and provide training to a more-diverse, rapidly changing workforce. How can we know that the air we breathe at home and at work is safe? Although that issue is the subject of ongoing research, protection of the environment is important to us all. Whether it involves food we eat, air we breathe, water we drink and use, microorganisms like bacteria, mold and viruses play a major role. This seminar is a basic attempt to address some of the potential microbial dangers involved.
