Swab testing of personnel and plant area
Hi everyone! I'm Donna Joy Escalante, a QA analyst for a medium sized
company in Manila, Philippines.  Recently, the company I'm working for
started to include microbial testing for the evaluation of plant sanitation
and hygienic measures. Since we've just started to include it in our
company, I am having difficulty in creating the suitable tests for our
meat processing and powder divisions. We are using the 3M Quick Swab
Kit for personnel and machines then plate it on APC, E.coli/coliform, and
staph express plates (also from 3M).  I would like to know if there are
tests better suited for meat processing and for powdered drink mixes. Is
APC, E.coli and Staph sufficient for hand swabbing and machine
evaluation? Can anyone suggest other tests since we have a wet and
dry production areas?
