Microbiology Task Force
We support food companies with contamination, microbial problems, and microbiological crises – on-site, structured, and robust.
When Uncertainty Becomes a Risk
Typical Scenarios
- Listeria Findings in Product or Environment
- Recurring Microbiological Issues
- Suspected Biofilm
- Suspected contamination in production
- Regulatory or customer complaint
- Recall or crisis situation
Our Microbiology Task Force Services
Immediate on-site support
When time is critical.
- On-site support
- Initial risk assessment
- Prioritization of immediate actions
- Crisis support
Objective: Regain clarity and stability.
Root Cause Analysis & Process Tracking
When the root cause needs to be found.
- Process tracking
- Facility sampling
- Assessment of critical control points
- Identification of potential sources of entry
Not assumptions, but robust findings.
Biofilm & Contamination Analysis
When findings recur.
- Biofilm monitoring
- Hotspot analysis
- Hygiene assessment
- Remediation strategies
With a focus on sustainable root cause elimination.
Advanced Diagnostics
When standard analyses are not sufficient.
- Rapid sampling
- Growth monitoring
- Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS)
- Microbiome analyses
In collaboration with specialized partner laboratories.
Assess the situation
Gather facts. Assess risks.
Identify the cause
Analyze processes. Locate hot spots.
Implement measures
Guide remediation. Reduce risks.
Experience replaces guesswork.
The sooner the cause is identified, the faster risks can be mitigated and measures initiated.
- Immediate Initial Assessment
- On-site support
- Root Cause Analysis & Sampling
- Biofilm and Hot-Spot Analysis
- Expert guidance for critical findings
Confidential · Non-binding · Fast response
Critical findings require sound decisions
Whenever microbiological anomalies, contaminations, or critical findings occur and a rapid expert assessment is required. The sooner causes are identified, the faster risks can be limited and effective measures initiated.
Yes. Depending on the situation, we support companies directly on-site with facility inspections, process analyses, sample collections, and root cause investigations. The goal is a rapid and reliable assessment of the situation.
We don't just evaluate individual lab results. We analyze processes, facilities, environments, and potential causes to systematically identify the source of a problem and derive concrete recommendations for action.
Yes. In case of resource bottlenecks or vacancies in quality management, we take interim responsibility, prioritize measures, stabilize audit processes, and operationally lead teams until a sustainable solution is established.
In critical situations, we strive for a rapid initial assessment and coordinate the next steps individually with the company. Depending on the specific issue, support can be provided remotely or directly on-site.
When critical findings occur, experience is crucial.
