Thermo ImageThis webinar presents the audience with an overview of the microbiological challenges the Dairy and Chocolate industry face when manufacturing low moisture foods. The session focuses on dry infant formula, cocoa and chocolate with a focus on the benefits gained from:  

  • harmonized protocols for Salmonella spp., Cronobacter spp., and Staphylococcus aureus in powdered infant formula,
  • testing sample pooling or increasing the test portion size.

Key learning points:

  • An overview of regional and national regulations
  • The benefits of having a harmonized workflow across multiple pathogens on a single platform
  • An opportunity to ask our expert speakers questions and benefit from their knowledge and experience.
