Protecting Food with DuPont Qualicon Safety Test
DuPont Qualicon has introduced the BAX® System STEC Suite, which enables food processors, reference labs and government labs to rapidly and reliably detect the Shiga toxin-producing E. coli most frequently associated with severe foodborne illness in the U.S.
DuPont Qualicon has introduced the BAX® System STEC Suite, which enables food processors, reference labs and government labs to rapidly and reliably detect the Shiga toxin-producing E. coli most frequently associated with severe foodborne illness in the U.S.
This suite of food safety tests was developed in collaboration with the Agricultural Research Service of the U.S Department of Agriculture (USDA) and is closely aligned with the testing approach used by the Food Safety and Inspection Service. The BAX® System screening detects a combination of virulence genes to quickly and cost effectively clear negative samples in the production line.
“The new BAX® System STEC Suite is a great example of how DuPont Qualicon is using science-powered innovation and collaboration to help keep the world’s food supply safer,” said Megan DeStefano, DuPont Qualicon global marketing manager. “With rising concerns about illness linked to E. coli other than O157:H7, the USDA has introduced policies to protect the food supply from these pathogens. The BAX® System STEC Suite gives the food industry powerful tools to help meet this newest challenge effectively and efficiently.”
Food processing companies around the world rely on the BAX® System to detect pathogens or other organisms in raw ingredients, finished products and environmental samples. The automated system uses leading-edge technology to detect salmonella, listeria, E. coli, campylobacter, vibrio and more.
With certifications and regulatory approvals in the Americas, Asia and Europe, the BAX® system is recognized globally as one of the most advanced pathogen testing system available to food companies.
