- When STEC Are Your Target, Where Do You Aim?
-
Various segments of the beef processing industry now test for the Top Six EHEC using test kits or services from a number of companies or commercial laboratories.
- Outsourcing: Key Factors to Consider In Choosing a Qualified Testing Provider
-
Outsourcing requires companies to address multiple interdependent business and scientific variables in choosing a contract laboratory.
- Next Generation ATP Systems: More than Sanitation Monitoring
-
Rather non-specific ATP methods have evolved to meet the growing needs of today’s food processor, combining ATP and bacterial culture tests in a single system.
- Advanced Technology for Rapid Pathogen Detection
-
Advancements in technology have led to unprecedented speed and ease in the definitive detection of specific pathogens of particular concern to the food industry.
- Food Diversity Requires Adaptable Solutions
-
The diversity of the global food supply presents some problematic challenges, especially with regard to analyses of the diverse matrices of the foods produced.
- Setting the Standard with “Big Six” non-O157 STEC Reference Materials
-
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) bacteria have been linked to a growing number of foodborne illnesses.
- The Move Toward Molecular Methods for Salmonella Detection
-
Rapid Salmonella detection technologies have evolved to provide food producers and testing labs with improved specificity, sensitivity and speed.
- Self-Contained Rapid Salmonella and Listeria Test Kits: Protect Against Chances of Cross-Contamination in Your Plant
-
Outsourcing of testing occurs often due to fears of cross-contamination; these fears can be minimized with improved bacterial enrichment methods.
- Leading the Way in Food Safety Science
-
Fast, accurate testing results are critical for delivering safer food products to consumers and more profitable growth for food companies.
- Understanding STEC: A Growing Concern
-
To understand the challenges of testing for pathogenic STEC, we need to understand the mechanics of what makes them deadly.
- Enterococcus faecium NRRL B-2354: Tempest in a Teapot or Serious Foodborne Pathogen?
-
Food manufacturers should not be discouraged from the use of E. faecium NRRL B-2354.
- N60—What It Is and What It Is Not
-
N60-Trim sampling is recognized as the gold standard sampling procedure for beef trimmings destined for raw ground use across the beef industry.
- Microbial Detection – Taking It to the Limits
-
Whichever method is used for sampling and detecting microorganisms, it represents only a fraction of the actual level present in a food product.
- Indicator Organism Assays: Chaos, Confusion and Criteria
-
Spoilage indicators could be considered a subset of quality indicators as microbes that cause spoilage are not necessarily those that result in foodborne illness.
- Technological Analyses: Adding Value for the Food Industry
-
Standardized practices and procedures are the backbone of a laboratory and ensure consistent and reliable results.
- A Summary Profile of Pathogen Detection Technologies
-
Pathogen testing is a key component and critical success factor in effective food safety and process control programs.
- Meeting the Challenge of E. coli O157:H7 Control Head On
-
Testing raw beef products for E. coli is only one piece of a larger puzzle to make sure contaminated meat doesn’t make it into grocery stores or homes.
- Demystifying the Microbial Testing Process
-
Your objective in taking samples and performing tests as well as knowing the limitations of the test you choose are all important for microbiological testing.
- Technology Rules. Results Matter.
-
Fast, accurate results are critical for delivering safer food products for consumers and are more profitable growth for food companies.
- Rapid Optical Microbial Test System Finding Favor As Probiotic Test
-
Rapid optical system can detect conventional microbial contamination or presence of desired probiotic organisms.
