<i>In Silico</i> Models for Design and Optimization of Science-Based <i>Listeria</i> Environmental Monitoring Programs in Fresh-Cut Produce Facilities
Genevieve Sullivan, Claire Zoellner, Martin Wiedmann, Renata Ivanek
Abstract
Programs such as environmental monitoring are used to determine the state of a given food facility with regard to the presence of environmental pathogens, such as Listeria monocytogenes , that could potentially cross-contaminate food product. However, the design of environmental monitoring programs is complex, and there are infinite ways to conduct the sampling that is required for these programs.
