3M Molecular Detection Assay for E.coli O157 (Including H7) Certified by AFNOR Certification
3M Food Safety’s technology validated for finding E.coli in raw beef, dairy and produce
3M Food Safety today announced that its 3M™ Molecular Detection Assay for E.coli O157 (including H7) has been granted a NF VALIDATION certification from AFNOR CERTIFICATION for its ability to detect the bacteria in raw beef, fruit, vegetable and dairy products. AFNOR CERTIFICATION’s validation for E.coli O157, effective for a four-year period, follows a similar evaluation process completed in recent months for 3M’s Molecular Detection Assay for the Salmonella organism. Salmonella and E.coli are perennially two leading causes of foodborne illness outbreaks throughout the world.
