Prevent and Protect: Identifying Biofilm Hazards in Processing Water Systems

Mar 3, 2027 (1:00 p.m. EST)

Webinar Description

Explore the role of biofilm in the water systems that support food processing systems and learn how mitigating the factors contributing to biofilm growth can improve overall water quality and reduce risk for food safety violations. Beyond the immediate risks to product quality, learn about the health risks biofilm in water systems pose for facility personnel.

Then, learn how to apply those concepts to a food production facility in order to address existing process water concerns and prevent biofilm from impacting water quality and personnel health. Those responsible for production facility management and who are concerned with the impact of water quality on their processes will benefit from learning how addressing biofilm in their water systems can help them achieve their desired outcomes.

Learning Objectives:

1. Explain the role of biofilm in water quality and food processing outcomes.
2. Identify the risks associated with improper water management, extending beyond food quality and into worker safety.
3. Solve and prevent water quality problems through a biofilm-based approach to water management.
