Routine testing can flag spoilage, but it often doesn't explain root cause—or how to prevent recurrence. In this educational webinar, Justin Cabrita and Dr. Martin Wiedmann share a practical, investigation-driven approach to spoilage prevention using SMARTBIOME™ from bioMérieux—an innovative solution that combines high precision DNA analysis, advanced bioinformatics, data science, an exclusive spoilers knowledge base, and expert consulting.
You'll learn how strategic sampling across raw materials, in process environments, and finished products can uncover hidden microbiological risks, identify likely sources of spoilage, guide targeted corrective actions, and help verify the effectiveness of interventions. By translating complex microbiome data into actionable insights, this approach helps reduce non-quality costs, minimize scrap, and strengthen confidence in product quality—while protecting your brand.
Key takeaways:
- How to progress from detection to root cause understanding and prevention
- How metagenomics can help identify potential sources of spoilage risk in raw materials, in-process, and finished products
- How microbiome insights can inform corrective and preventive strategies, illustrated through real-world use cases
This session will focus on concepts, examples, and ways of thinking, rather than prescriptive testing or corrective action plans, which are highly site-specific.
