🔬 Unlocking Food Safety: Understanding Listeria Monocytogenes Persistence 🔬 Listeria monocytogenes poses a persistent threat to food safety, challenging food processors despite stringent cleaning protocols. In the #FoodSafeR Horizon Europe project, we're delving into this issue. By combining advanced microbiological and bioinformatic methods, we aim to decipher the genome of Listeria monocytogenes and draw insights from its ecology and evolution. What is our goal? To develop the 'Persisters Database' within the FoodSafeR Open Digital Hub, equipping food safety professionals with essential tools and resources. We invite you to read this Practice Abstract written by Lauren V. Alteio, Ph.D. from FFoQSI #Listeria #bioinformatics #foodsafety #foodprocessing #EveryBodysBusiness #HorizonEuropeProject

We have some exciting news to share! Vianca Tashiguano, Poultry Science Researcher from Auburn University, will be joining us at our booth during the International Association for Food Protection expo in Long Beach, California on July 15-16. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about the important research being conducted by Dr. Amit Morey and Vianca Tashiguano from Auburn University on the consequences of temperature changes on chicken breasts in relation to food safety, quality, and shelf life. This is a great chance to gain valuable insights and network with industry experts. More details to follow. We can't wait to see you there! #foodsafety #poultry #iafp #foodprotection #foodquality #shelflife

I am happy to share our Conference Proceeding paper entitled "Emerging Food Borne Pathogens: Challenges and Startgies for Ensuring Food Safety" published by biology and life sciences forum Mdpi 💖

[Webinar] Join us for our upcoming webinar as our expert researcher will help navigate you through the Listeria detection and identification labyrinth. Discover which of the 28 species deserves your focus when developing an L. monocytogenes (LM) control program, and how to insure those species relevant to food safety (i.e., LM indicator or index organisms) are detected.

🔬 Advancing Food Safety: The Pivotal Role of Bacteriophages in Protecting Our Food Supply🔬 Bacteriophages, or phages, are becoming a game-changer in the food industry. These microscopic heroes target and eliminate harmful bacteria, ensuring our meals are safe from pathogens like Listeria, Salmonella, and E. coli. Phages not only improve food preservation but also enhance animal health and aid in the fermentation process. Our latest infographic showcases the various applications of phages and their role in detecting pathogens, phage therapy for livestock, and much more! Let's discuss how bacteriophages can revolutionize food processing and whether their application could be the key to sustainable food safety practices. However, there are challenges in implementing phage technology. If you're interested in a deeper exploration or collaboration inquiries, reach out to Helen Onyeaka or Carrie Furr at the contact details provided in the infographic. Join the conversation on #FoodSafety #Biotechnology #FoodScience #Innovation #Bacteriophages #PublicHealth.

Bacteriophages are viruses that infect and replicate only in bacterial cells. Though these agents can be a menace in some settings, it’s currently a biotechnological tool with emerging applications in diverse areas. Check out this interesting summary of its application in the food industry

I am pleased to present to you today our brand new Application Note: "Clean-up and concentration of chloramphenicol and malachite green from animal products and honey for residue analysis." by Dr. Frederik Wuppermann At a time when food safety and quality control are of paramount importance, we at LCTech are working hard to develop innovative solutions for the analysis of residues in food. With this new application note, we offer you an efficient method for the purification and concentration of chloramphenicol and malachite green from animal products and honey. Why is this application note so important? Chloramphenicol and malachite green are potentially harmful substances that can be found in foods such as meat, fish and honey. Therefore, it is crucial to detect these residues quickly and reliably to ensure consumer safety. You can find the full application note and further information on our website https://lnkd.in/e66k5gkW. If you have any questions or are interested in working with us, please do not hesitate to contact us. #foodsafety #residueanalytics #foodquality #analytics #mycotoxins
