Hi anna898,
I wouldn’t panic based on 1 positive result, it may have been a contaminated sample.
Arrange for another set of samples from that batch at an increased sample rate asap.
Repeat your environmental swabs and take more swabs from food contact surfaces on the line in question.
I assume that you sample periodically, say monthly, so arrange for additional batches to be sampled as well.
Kind regards,
Tony
