Components of bioMérieux's Augmented Diagnostics Approach

The Food Industry Is At A Turning Point

The food industry is facing significant challenges that demand a new approach to safety and quality. As consumer demands evolve, processors must tackle rising non-quality costs, recent recalls, stricter safety regulations, and industry digitalization, all within a complex macro-economic environment marked by supply chain disruptions and inflation.

Additionally, the industry must address consumer trends like the demand for plant-based products, health and well-being, and transparency through clean labels. With looming sustainability challenges, including the need to produce 60% more food by 2050, it's crucial for food manufacturers to embrace innovative technologies and data sciences to improve productivity, reduce waste, and lower their carbon footprint.
