On September 18, bioMérieux celebrated the opening of its new Molecular and Genomic Innovation Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where innovative molecular diagnostics solutions will be developed to meet the testing needs of the food and beverage industry, thereby advancing food safety.

bioMérieux's GENE-UP® Pathogenic Escherichia coli assay has been selected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service’s (USDA’s FSIS’) Field Service Laboratories as the primary method for Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) detection.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA-FSIS) has selected bioMérieux’s GENE-UP® CAMPYLOBACTER assay for use in its Field Service Laboratories.  

bioMérieux and Mérieux NutriSciences have announced the launch of a new data-driven Trusted Third Party initiative, built with a group of global food industry partners to foster safe industry collaboration and to better anticipate and prevent food safety risks.

bioMérieux has entered an agreement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to collaboratively develop tools to combat foodborne pathogens.

bioMérieux has announced the lease signing of a new, 32,000 square foot (sq. ft.) state-of-the-art molecular innovation center at the Navy Yard in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

bioMérieux’s new GENE-UP® ENVIROPRO™ detects both Salmonella and Listeria from environmental swabbing, including PCR confirmation.

In this episode of Food Safety Matters, we talk to Sandra Eskin, Deputy Under Secretary for Food Safety at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and head of USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). Sandra discusses FSIS' approach to mitigating Salmonella in poultry, including the agency’s Proposed Regulatory Framework to Reduce Salmonella Illnesses Attributable to Poultry.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA’s FSIS) has awarded a contract to bioMérieux to incorporate its non-enrichment quantification system, GENE-UP™ QUANT Salmonella, into FSIS’ laboratory system to conduct Salmonella quantification in raw poultry rinse samples.

bioMérieux has won the 2022 Food Safety Innovation Award for Predictive Diagnostics from the International Association for Food Protection (IAFP).
