Can you say "Regulations" boys and girls? Regularions are a good and necessary thing. They protect the company and the public.
But noooo, they think their bottom line cannot afford the cost of quality and control. All they have to do is hire a degreed specimen processor to swab equipment, floor, wall & door knobs, etc. of each station every night after everyone leaves. Run them to the lab and drop off immediately. ASAP, Microciologists sets up cultures & checks them at 24 hrs and 48 hrs. They can tell in 24 hrs if the culture is growing bacteria, and in 48 hrs, they can report exactly what bacteria is growing from each and every swab. Viola'! If this practice is not required by the USDA, WTF?
