Environmental Monitoring Program (EMP)

Environmental Monitoring Program (EMP)

Make your Environmental Monitoring Program (EMP) be the best way to assess the environment of your facility and control the potential for contamination in your manufacturing processes.

Monitoring of food manufacturing environment is a vital part of a comprehensive quality assurance program. Many incidents of product contamination and recall can be traced to the food manufacturer’s failure to have a sound environmental monitoring program.

A well-considered and delivered environmental monitoring program is the best front-line defense against product quality failure. It can be far less costly than even a single product recall.

As your quality partner, Mérieux NutriSciences can help you choose the solutions best adapted to your needs and provide you with the most effective data. Our experienced food experts and accredited labs work alongside your teams to ensure that your production area will always meet and exceed your expectations.
