About This Session
Listeria doesn’t hide, it travels. When your Environmental Monitoring program flags a positive, what you do next either fixes the real problem or just delays it. In this FSMA Friday session, Steven Tsuyuki, Food Safety Senior Advisor of The Acheson Group, breaks down the Seek and Destroy framework: an investigation-first approach that traces exactly where Listeria came from and how it moved — before anyone picks up a mop. If your team keeps chasing positives without closing them out for good, this session is for you.

What You’ll Learn

• Why the Listeria Control Equation matters and how one weak link across traffic patterns, GMPs, sanitation, floors, or equipment design opens the door to your next EM positive.
• What “Seek” actually looks like: your team runs a CSI-style investigation to trace where Listeria came from and how it moved before you touch a single piece of equipment.
• How to destroy the right way: targeted investigative swabbing, rinsate sampling, and corrective actions that eliminate the risk instead of papering over it with an SOP.
