Is it necessary to continue Evironmental Monitoring while line is down for a few weeks?
We currently only have one production line. We plan on not producing on that line for a few weeks. Is it necessary to still continue doing our weekly EM in that Zone if we are not producing, batching, etc?
Any feedback is welcome.
I have some lines down two and have adjusted the zones to reflect the current process. There's no point swabbing a disused line for food contact swabbing if it isn't food contact for a period.

Agree with Zanorias. There is no necessity to swab if there was no risk for contamination on that line due to no usage. Unless, there was a risk?
You can discontinue EM - just tag it off, snap a photo and do a document on it to avoid any issues come audit time.
