Food Safety

Reduce the risk of foodborne pathogen contamination (Salmonella and Campylobacter) in meat and egg products

Selected Species

Importance of Food Safety in poultry

  • Salmonella and Campylobacter are two leading causes of worldwide foodborne illnesses, potentially transmitted through poultry products into the food chain
  • A comprehensive multi-pronged strategy covering all the potential entry points throughout the production chain for these pathogens is required since no single procedure will control these pathogens across the board.
  • Reducing the risk of a foodborne outbreak reduces food and feed waste, recalls, and managed brand reputation
  • Therefore, the needs for food safety in poultry production are:
    - Optimizing a multi-point food safety risk mitigation strategy
    - Reducing the risk of foodborne pathogens in meat and egg products

 Food Safety Portfolio Offering

A multi-pronged risk management strategy can help reduce the incidence of foodborne pathogens contaminating your poultry meat and eggs. A synbiotic helps to reduce colonization sites for zoonotic pathogens (Salmonella and Campylobacter), while a novel precision-biotic redirects nutrients away from these pathogens and towards productive microbial protein metabolism. A comprehensive mycotoxin risk management strategy helps to reduce the risk of mycotoxins predisposing the birds to foodborne pathogens. Blod biomarkers and microbiome analysis services can monitor pathogen levels in your birds throughout production to quantify any contamination in order to ensure an effective intervention strategy. Sustainability measurements can be taken to help achieve your sustainability goals in relation to food safety.
