Rethinking Food Safety: Eliminating Biofilm and Building a Smarter Food Safety System

6/25/26 2:00 pm to 6/25/27 EDT

Contact: Vania Halabou

Traditional sanitation methods were not designed to address the full complexity of today’s food safety challenges. Persistent pathogens, biofilm formation, and harsh chemical limitations continue to create risk across food production environments from farm to processing facilities.

In this webinar, NomadX will introduce a modern approach to decontamination that goes beyond surface-level cleaning. Learn how ultra-pure chlorine dioxide (ClO257) is being deployed to effectively penetrate biofilm, reduce pathogen load, and integrate into real-world operational workflows without the drawbacks of legacy products. The session will also touch on how advanced decontamination fits into a broader, proactive food safety system—where improved sanitation, enhanced sampling, and emerging same-shift pathogen detection capabilities work together to help ensure contaminated product never leaves the facility.

Key takeaways:

Why traditional sanitation methods fall short against biofilm and persistent pathogens
How ClO257 differs from other sanitation products in efficacy and usability
Practical applications across food production environments (water lines, equipment, facilities)
How decontamination integrates into a broader food safety system, including emerging same-shift detection
