Fresh produce undergoes several steps to reduce risk of pathogen contamination, but did you know that Nanobubble technology could be one of them? Nanobubbles are very small (70-120 nanometers) gas bubbles that exhibit interesting physical properties due to its size. It has been a relatively new field of research that could provide significant improvements to food production and water treatment.

Implementing an Effective Listeria Control Plan for Fresh Produce

This webinar will provide insights on how a manufacturer validates Bioengineered removal processes and verify compliance with the rule. Original airdate September 15, 2022.

Arsenic is naturally occurring all around us, but that doesn't mean it's always safe to consume. Consumers are looking to companies to test their products, know their levels, and keep them safe. Learn more about the different forms of arsenic and relative risk for presence in products.

The USDA establishes a new standard for disclosing bioengineered food. Does the mandate apply to you? Read to learn more.

Doug Marshall, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer, reviews recent FDA and USDA regulatory updates that affect food processors. The updates include new rules and regulations, upcoming deadlines, regulator surveillance activities, recalls, and outbreaks. Hear about PFAS, pesticides, mercury, histamine, sodium reduction, ag water, allergens, traceability, Appendix A & B, and other important activities.

Historically, the fresh produce industry has viewed food quality and food safety as different disciplines and utilizing separate science. That is changing. The lines between food safety and quality are becoming blurred. For processors, retailers, growers and suppliers, the need to understand the intersection of food quality and safety has never been more critical. The strategic partnership between the Qfresh Lab and Eurofins was created specifically to address this need within the industry. This webinar explores how to navigate  through the combination of foods safety and quality.

New Rapid Pathogen Testing Services. Eurofins Microbiology Laboratories, Inc. is pleased to share our new Enteric Pathogen Risk Indicator (EPRI™) Testing. This new service is a rapid approach to risk identification and management using fast genetic technology (PCR) with the benefits of an indicator test. In addition, we can screen for Salmonella and Shiga toxigenic E. coli at the same time in one assay.

When we send a sample of food for testing, we generally think about a pretty simple system where we submit a sample, wait a bit of time, and then find out if the target organism is there. What we often forget is just how complex our food, processing systems, and environments truly are.

Are you stuck on the proverbial micro testing loop? Do you submit a sample to the lab, get a non-compliant result, fill out some paperwork, visit a field and then just start right back over at step one? If so watch this webinar on how to fix those issues.
