Foodborne Illness Investigation
Disease spreads through food in several ways, but outbreaks always involve an agent, a host and an environment, operation or process. Operations involving people, equipment, food, water, air, and facilities sometimes provide the necessary pathways for human pathogens to spread.
Not only do illnesses have legal consequences for companies, but outbreaks seriously affect consumer perception, affecting the viability of the firm or operation itself. Outbreaks of communicable disease are events that place both the public and the operation in a dangerous situation. We help to investigate the sources of contamination so safety can be restored.
Disease Control and Prevention
Disease is controlled and prevented when operations establish sanitary controls to break the chain of infection. Our work is based upon expert understanding of how to intercept the disease transmission pathway through the best application of environmental health principles.
We provide programs, systems, and products to control the spread of hazards and communicable disease via food, environmental surfaces, people, water and air.
Scopes of Work
Applicable to any industry or institution, we work where risk to the public is a potential concern. We work closely with the food industry, the hospitality industry, institutions, other food safety related businesses, and governmental organizations from the farm to the fork. We also conduct inspections of water and waste water facilities, lodging facilities, and public swimming pools. Additionally, we work along side government investigators as third party assessor of prevention and control efforts during outbreaks, and represent clients during a crises.

For Law Firms
Environ Health Associates will provide expert testimony and assistance to law firms in the arena of food safety sanitation, and potable water, and related civil and administrative law.
Detailed analysis of environmental evidence can in some cases reveal environmentally transmitted disease exposure routes, but in other cases, such methods can rule out exposures. Our ability to clearly define these routes and the agents at work, allows us to provide expert testimony and opinions about causation for those needing answers.
