Environmental monitoring: stay ahead of food safety risks with continuous improvements

December 10, 2018

Food safety does not end with the creation of a documented plan. It must be an ongoing effort, especially in processing facilities producing ready-to-eat (RTE) products, where product contamination may lead to public health risks, costly recalls and reputation damage.

When it comes to pathogen testing, processors must choose from a number of processes, as well as whether the work will be done in-house or through a contract laboratory.

Study: Pathogen testing to lead global food safety testing market by 2025

The processed food segment contributed about one-third share of the total market in 2017, and will continue to maintain its dominance through 2025.

September 11, 2018

Increasing cases of foodborne illnesses due to food contamination and rising consumer inclination toward better quality and safe food are expected to fuel the demand for pathogen testing in the global food safety testing market by the end of forecast period, according to a report published by Allied Market Research, Portland, Ore.

Study: Food safety testing market worth $18.54B by 2022
