Beyond the Test: a new Era in the Pet Food Safety Industry!
Regulators require pet food manufacturers to deliver pathogen-free products to prevent potential contamination transfer to pet owners, posing a significant challenge. In dry pet food manufacturing, the extrusion process is a critical control point, with a high risk of cross-contamination. Similarly, in Minimally processed/Raw petfood, microbial risk is closely tied to ingredient quality and freshness.
Understanding and managing the factory microbiome is essential to minimize sanitization and chemical residues that can harm pets, who are more sensory sensitive than humans. To mitigate these risks, manufacturers must conduct extensive daily microbial testing and robust environmental monitoring, though this can be costly. Current controls relying solely on testing and risk detection have limitations, necessitating innovative solutions to address food safety and consumer demands.
bioMérieux recognizes the challenges faced by pet food producers and the limitations of existing tests, leading to the development of AUGMENTED DIAGNOSTICS. This revolutionary approach combines microbiology testing with advanced Molecular & Genomic methodologies, Data Science, and Bio-informatics tools. AUGMENTED DIAGNOSTICS empowers pet food makers with comprehensive, actionable insights throughout the production process, aiding in raw material and supplier risk management, prevention of cross-contamination, and ultimately safeguarding the health of beloved pets.
