bioMérieux has launched SMARTBIOME, a solution designed to help food manufacturers better understand, control, and prevent microbiological spoilage. By combining high‑precision DNA sequencing, advanced bioinformatics, and bioMérieux's microbiology expertise, SMARTBIOME provides actionable insights to protect product quality, reduce waste, and protect food safety.

Microbial spoilage contributes significantly to food waste and quality losses across the global food industry. Estimates indicate that 15–20 percent of food is wasted after production. Spoilage microorganisms like Pseudomonas, aerobic and anaerobic spore‑formers, and fungi are a major driver in the waste of fresh and processed foods and beverages.

For food manufacturers, spoilage from microorganisms leads to substantial economic losses, reputational risks, and operational disruption. Identifying the responsible microbes, understanding their origin, and preventing recurrence remain complex and time‑consuming tasks.

SMARTBIOME addresses these challenges through an advanced, accessible platform for in-depth spoilage investigation. The solution combines high‑resolution DNA sequencing with bioinformatics and data science, an exclusive spoilage knowledge base, and bioMérieux consulting services. Together, these capabilities translate complex microbiological data into clear, actionable insights.

The solution enables food manufacturers to accurately identify spoilage organisms at every stage of production, trace issues back to their root cause using data‑driven insights, and strengthen process controls. By monitoring microbiological trends over time, manufacturers can anticipate risks and proactively adjust their processes to prevent future spoilage events before they escalate.

SMARTBIOME is already available for food manufacturers in several regions worldwide, including North America, Latin America, and Europe.
