Microbiological Testing & Analysis

RSS

An analytical testing protocol is fundamental to any food product acceptance testing program, including those for examining the microbiological safety of ready-to-eat salad.

During last decade, a few novel intervention technologies were successfully developed, approved by regulatory agencies and applied as inactivation steps to enhance food safety.

Outsourcing is not for everyone, and many companies operate highly efficient internal laboratories.

Pathogen tests have many attributes: speed, sensitivity, cost, broad utility…which is most important to you?

At present, there is no oversight of food laboratories. We do not know the total number of food laboratories, whether the people performing the testing were trained adequately or what type of quality control processes, if any, are employed. Is proficiency testing the answer?

Convenience methods have become a standard for saving the food industry time, labor and money in their microbiology work.

Neogen’s technology reduces time and cost of rapid microbial testing.  

The food industry operates on an immense global scale. With such a scope come unique and often problematic challenges.  

What do current microbiology methods reveal about microorganism levels in food products?

Increased scrutiny and focus on the safety of our food supply results in increased testing.
