Therefore, it is important to im-plement strategies to control crossed contaminations in the area. objective. Establish a procedure for the monitoring and the closing of microbiological noncon-formities in environments, surfaces and manipula-tors in the deboning area. Materials and methods.Tolerance intervals were implemented based on the analysis of total coliforms during deboning. The condi-tions that are transversal in the process were charac-terized by the use of a checklist; flowcharts to close microbiological nonconformities were designed and an improvement plan to prevent contamination with coliforms during deboning was developed. results.The most strict tolerance limits were established in environments with measures between 2 and 4 CfU of coliforms, while the application of the check list showed failures in the cleaning and the disinfection of surfaces and a lack of knowledge about the dis-infectant concentrations used. conclusion. Crossed contamination in the deboning area was mainly due to aspects related to the correct application of the clea-ning and disinfection processes. 3esAcceso abiertoCorporación Universitaria LasallistaCarne - ProducciónSeguridad alimentariaInocuidad de los alimentosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAcces
