A variety of actions, spanning from simply changing a nozzle to implementing AI technology, can contribute to making sanitizing procedures more sustainable. The authors dive into some of these actions and look at the effectiveness, implementation challenges, and consequences for the end products.

Novolyze’s predictive and machine learning-powered environmental monitoring platform helps food manufacturers maintain the highest levels of food safety and quality.

In this episode of Food Safety Matters, we are joined by Angela Anandappa, Ph.D., President and Founder of the Alliance for Advanced Sanitation, for a discussion about the Alliance's history and its current and future work, the fundamental role of sanitation in food safety, and the current challenges of the sanitation workforce.

Novolyze has announced the upgrade of its Environmental Monitoring Program (EMP) solution to include advanced predictive analytics and machine learning.

Through sampling activities and whole genome sequencing (WGS) analysis, a recent research project funded by the Center for Produce Safety (CPS) revealed insights about the movement of L. monocytogenes across a processing facility, the persistence of the pathogen, and the efficacy of biocides and sanitation practices.

ABB’s improved Baldor-Reliance Food Safe motors, designed with smooth contours and advanced sealing, exceed IP69 ingress protection ratings for washdown conditions to maximize motor life in high-pressure, sanitary cleaning environments.

There is a growing trend of pathogenic outbreaks being traced to processed fruits, leading to industry players implementing more diligent control processes. This article discusses methodologies and regulations around fruit washing and sanitizing.

This article explores the total cost of ownership and the many categories of expenses involved in operating, maintaining, and cleaning equipment, as well as the different criteria to consider during the design phase.

The Center for Produce Safety has provided insight into an ongoing study funded by the center that is examining the efficacy of superheated steam, also known as “dry steam,” as a sanitization method for dry food production environments. The researchers are looking for industry respondents to fill out a survey on the financial realities of this technology.

Ongoing research funded by the Center for Produce Safety aims to evaluate the efficacy of commercially available sanitizers against common foodborne pathogens and biofilms encountered during tree fruit harvesting, and then conduct a validation study of the best-performing treatments at commercial facilities.
