Heavy metals in water don’t always show up—but they can create serious risks.

From drinking water systems to industrial discharge and environmental monitoring, contaminants like **lead, arsenic, and mercury** need to be properly tested to meet compliance requirements across Canada.

At PBR, we support organizations across **Western Canada** with:
• Heavy metal testing for water and wastewater
• Guidance on dissolved vs total metals
• Reporting that supports regulatory decisions

If your operations depend on water quality, make sure your testing program is aligned with current standards.

**Reach out to PBR to learn more about water testing support across Alberta, BC, and Saskatchewan.**

Indicator organisms help food processors understand how effective their sanitation programs really are.

While they may not always cause illness, organisms like coliforms and total plate count can signal potential contamination risks.

Routine testing helps identify issues early and supports stronger food safety programs.

How often should food processors test for pathogens?

It depends on the level of risk. Facilities handling ready-to-eat products or meat typically require more frequent testing to ensure safety.

Routine pathogen testing helps detect contamination early and supports compliance with food safety requirements.

For businesses in Alberta, consistent testing programs are essential for protecting products and consumers.

Food testing and quality testing are not the same — and understanding the difference matters.

Quality testing focuses on consistency, while food safety testing focuses on identifying risks like harmful bacteria and contamination.

Even a high-quality product can pose a risk if proper food safety testing isn’t in place.

For food processors in Alberta, combining both approaches helps ensure safe, compliant, and reliable products.

E. coli O157:H7 and other STEC pathogens remain one of the most serious food safety risks in beef processing.

Even small levels of contamination can lead to major recalls and health risks if not detected early. That’s why routine microbiological testing and environmental monitoring are essential in meat processing facilities.

Effective testing programs help identify contamination early, verify sanitation procedures, and support regulatory compliance.

For processors across Alberta and Canada, proactive testing plays a key role in protecting both product quality and consumer safety.

Listeria testing is a critical part of food safety for ready-to-eat products.

Because Listeria can grow even in cold storage, food processors must take extra precautions to detect and control it within their facilities. Regular testing and environmental monitoring help identify risks early and ensure sanitation programs are working effectively.

If you’re producing ready-to-eat foods, having a strong testing program in place is essential for protecting your products and your customers.

Environmental Swabbing Programs: A Key Part of Food Safety

Environmental monitoring programs are essential for preventing contamination in food processing facilities.

By routinely collecting swab samples from equipment, food contact surfaces, drains, and production areas, food processors can detect harmful microorganisms before they impact finished products.

Environmental swabbing helps identify pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella, while also verifying the effectiveness of sanitation programs.

Strong environmental monitoring programs support HACCP systems, preventive control plans, and regulatory compliance, helping processors maintain safe production environments and reduce the risk of food recalls.

Routine testing remains one of the most effective tools for protecting food safety and consumer health.
