Here we highlight the best practices in process validation that pet food manufacturers may use to scientifically demonstrate that a given process, or “kill step,” in the manufacture of pet food and pet food products can deliver the required microbial reductions to ensure the safety of their product.
This article describes the basics of flow cytometry in its application to probiotic enumeration, including a comparison between flow cytometry and traditional plate count methods, afu vs cfu, advantages and disadvantages of flow cytometry, marketplace examples and investigative case studies.
Understand what an acidified food is, the regulations associated with acidified foods, and different sterilization techniques (thermal processing and cold-fill-hold) for various food products. This guide will help you to determine the classification of a food, and provide resources to aid in processing, FDA filing, and where to go to with further questions.
Andrzej Benkowski, Technical Manager, Eurofins Microbiology Laboratories Inc, is one of the authors of this article from Frontiers in Microbiology, discussing enumeration techniques for probiotic and postbiotic analytical methods.
The effectiveness of a preservative or antimicrobial product is critical in ensuring the safety of a food product and extending its shelf life. This article helps you to understand the basic considerations of preservative and antimicrobial efficacy testing, including determining a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), giving you the background needed to select the best test methods for your food product evaluation.
In this on-demand webinar Doug Marshall and John Scanga explain the latest regulatory challenges in food safety and quality from the FDA and USDA with a focus on the new rules and regulations. Original airdate August 7, 2024.
This poster evaluates the microbiological safety of immersion method concentrated coffee, and single strength cold brew coffee processed by UHT. The results were used to determine if temperature controls for safety (TCS) should be required for these products during retail.
This poster discusses research with the purpose to validate enrichment concentration as a method for shortening enrichment times to 12 hours for Listeria testing in leafy greens.
This poster discusses research with the purpose to develop a molecular method that detects indicators of enteric pathogen contamination and requires less than six hours of enrichment.
This poster discusses research with the purpose to determine the main cause(s) of presumptive Listeria spp. environmental samples that fail to confirm by culture.
