Potentially offering an effective natural control strategy in food production, a study demonstrated the ability of select essential oils to inactivate multidrug-resistant Campylobacter isolated from poultry and investigated the mechanisms of antibacterial action, while highlighting variability in essential oil potency and species-specific susceptibility.
Drawing upon insights shared by UK food safety professionals, a report produced by the Food Safety Research Network (FSRN)/Quadram Institute identifies emerging defenses against microbiological risks in food production environments, including science-backed approaches, advanced technologies, and culture-based initiatives.
The FAO/WHO Joint Expert Meeting on Microbiological Risk Assessment (JEMRA) has published a report on prevention and intervention measures for foodborne virus–commodity pairs of concern.
The pulsed light disinfection system is engineered for food processing and packaging environments, with a range of applications from direct irradiation of foodstuffs to package disinfection.
The resource explores industry-specific challenges, key quality control functions, the best inspection solution for different applications and insertion points, and the role of inspection data.
Through the One Health lens, a scientific review summarized current knowledge on Salmonella biofilms, the importance of non-antibiotic interventions given the rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), emerging alternative strategies with potential for real-world use, and challenges and needs moving forward.
INNEO is a peptide-based antimicrobial processing aid. USDA’s No Objection Letter enables U.S. meat and poultry processors to use INNEO both as a surface treatment and directly within the food matrix of comminuted products.
The Compact Integrated Xenon Lamp (CIXL) from XENON Corporation is a fully integrated, plug-and-play system that delivers pulsed light—a technology that provides food processors with a non-chemical method for pathogen control on food contact materials and food packaging.
The new COMPASS optical sorter from Key Technology combines high-performance foreign material contamination detection and removal with gentle, hygienic product handling to help processors enhance food safety and operational efficiency.
