For ready-to-eat food processors, developing and implementing pathogen environmental monitoring programs are important parts of their sanitation controls.
A new approach for significantly improving detection probabilities and reducing the need for manual verification of foreign material contamination of food products is described.
The ability to rapidly detect the presence of viable pathogens along the production chain is essential for determining intervention and control strategies.
Transgenic methods have been used for over 25 years to incorporate well-characterized genes from a foreign (different plant or nonplant species) donor into a plant host that endows it with some desirable trait.
As a result of the changing regulatory landscape, there is need for more accurate identification and quantification of contaminants in environmental and food-related samples.
Bia Diagnostics is available to assist all organizations with their Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points plans for food allergen screening and label verification.
The processing environment is particularly susceptible to food pathogens, making pathogen testing a crucial component of any environmental monitoring program.
