Microbiological threats – the potential for visible and hidden risks

Rigorous Monitoring | Currently, an estimated 7.5 billion people live on Earth. If all of them were the size of microbes, they would all easily fit in a large cup of yogurt.

Sometimes visual comparisons are useful to put hygienic requirements in production in the proper perspective.
