The workshop will cover what to do in the event that companies can no longer follow the updated version of the Appendices, as well as discussion on which hazards are associated with cooking and cooling deviations. Additionally, we will provide step by step instruction on how to use pathogen modeling, including information on selecting the most appropriate program and discussion on when sampling should occur in response to a deviation.
