Measuring coliforms is critical in a wide variety of source water applications, including required regulatory compliance testing, bottled water testing, and for fresh-cut produce or fruit rinse water .

Neogen’s Listeria Right Now™ test system detects Listeria in environmental samples in under 60 minutes—with molecular-level accuracy and without the need to enrich samples.

The SimPlate system meets the need for more rapid enumeration systems for microorganisms, allowing faster response times to potential food quality or food safety problems.

The BAX System Real-Time Salmonella Assay has been shown to accurately detect Salmonella spp., even in matrices that contain inhibitory compounds.

The major safety threats to Cannabis products are bacterial pathogens; these products thus need regulatory guidelines for testing.

The number of reported incidents and recalls related to Listeria and L. monocytogenes has been increasing, and processors are making efforts to rid their facilities of harborage organisms and sites.

This new sensing mechanism can detect very faint traces of foodborne viruses that can help prevent epidemics and further transmission.

Green sprouts have been the poster child for a fresh produce item that causes more than its share of food safety concerns.

The way processors view their responsibilities regarding microbiological testing is changing. Regulatory pressure and a focus on food safety are causing changes in where processors do their testing.  

Whether you are just setting up your environmental Listeria monitoring program or reassessing your existing program, there are basic elements that you will want to include.
