The botanical supplement and cosmetic industries are rapidly changing, and the increase in consumer demand calls for upscaling raw material sourcing. This means there is higher pressure for scientifically-valid contaminant testing, including screens for pesticides and heavy metals, while maintaining a fast turn-around time. Watch this webinar to learn modern approaches to contaminant detection, with an emphasis on market trends, broad dietary supplement applications, and OTC cosmetics.
The USDA establishes a new standard for disclosing bioengineered food. Does the mandate apply to you? Read to learn more.
Company X, a leading national supplier of prepared foods, was set with their environmental monitoring program. Their plan and testing protocols were effective and efficient in collecting samples and evaluating for the organisms of concern. The problem was that they had been unable to eliminate the Listeria or trace it back to a source, so they turned to Eurofins and Rheonix.
Eurofins Microbiology works closely with members of the pork industry to ensure safe food production from farm to fork. Download our guide for Pork Carcass Sampling.
The risk of mycotoxigenic molds on crops has increased due to changing weather conditions. In this article learn about the different ways mycotoxins are being tested for and what industries they are affecting.
Not all rancidity tests are equally appropriate. Here are some helpful hints regarding how each test is performed, what it reveals, limitations and which may be more important for a given scenario.
Developing a product requires careful consideration of storage, transport, and retail conditions. Spoilage organism testing helps determine the risk of bacterial spoilage under different conditions. Additionally, spoilage testing can be added to routine microbiology testing to ensure continued product quality and safety.
Indicator organisms are groups of microbes that are correlated with other groups. In other words, the presence of one indicates the presence of another. So, indicator testing detects a small group of pathogens instead of running over 30 tests to look for all potential harmful groups. This reduces testing times and costs.
In this presentation, Dr. DeMarco illustrates how positive pathogen results can be used to make real improvements in processes, facilitating a safer production environment with lower overall contamination risks and safer food for the consumer. Original airdate July 12, 2023.
