A New Paradigm for Spoiler Risk Management
Meet SMARTBIOME™ — an innovative platform designed to make advanced spoilage investigation and prevention accessible to food manufacturers. From raw materials to in-process to finished products, SMARTBIOME™ leverages powerful sequencing capabilities, bioinformatics, exclusive spoilers knowledge base, and data science to transform complex data into actionable insights, allowing you to:
- Investigate issues, establish traceability, and determine the root cause
- Make informed decisions
- Optimize processes for better risk management
- Implement effective risk prevention measures
Pair Routine Testing with Thorough Investigations
Today, around 80% of microbial food safety tests are performed for spoilers and quality indicators. Despite advances in technologies, food processors still face challenges in preventing spoilage, which can cause scraps and recalls, leading to financial losses and decreased perception of brand image.
Routine testing with instruments like D-COUNT® and TEMPO® can help catch spoilage before products get in the hands of consumers, but investigations with cutting-edge technologies like SMARTBIOME™ allow manufacturers to dig deeper into the root cause of a spoiler contamination and find answers to key questions like:
- What is the contaminant of my finished product?
- How did this spoiler contaminate my operation?
- What interventions can I take to control this spoiler?
- What can I do to prevent future spoiler contamination?
Understand Your Spoilage Profile and Make Informed Decisions
Results from your samples are populated in the SMARTBIOME™ platform, where your complex data is transformed into intelligent and intuitive visualizations to help you better understand your unique microbiota.
The unique SMARTBIOME™ knowledge base contains extensive information on more than 3,000 microorganisms, detailing optimal growth conditions (pH, temperature), resistance mechanisms (including sanitizers), and their specific impacts on food products, for example, changes in odor or shortened shelf life.
Transform Prevention into Quality, Safety, and Lower Costs
SMARTBIOME™ allows you to:
- Identify the root cause of spoilage problems
- Optimize workflows and verify failure points
- Genetically map your entire production process
- Perform preventive inspection for new risks
These tangible benefits in your operation can translate directly into:

Unique Levels of Support to Address Your Spoilage Challenges
Each food processor faces their own obstacles when it comes to spoilage — no two operations are the same. Therefore, SMARTBIOME™ offers three differentiated, but complementary levels of service, to be utilized based on your needs, from Spoilage Identification to Root Cause Analysis to advanced Risk Management.
SPOT: Gain New Insight into Your Products’ Spoilage
Determine Microbiome Abundance and Diversity Per Sample Type
Access intuitive visualizations of which microorganisms were identified in your sample and their relative quantity in that sample (relative abundance).
Identify The Most Abundant & Frequent Microorganisms
Quickly identify samples with elevated microbial presence and use dynamic filters to pinpoint specific microorganisms of interest.
Stay Informed on Your Spoilage Organisms
Access comprehensive information on each spoiler organism, including growth conditions, resistance, and impact on product quality, shelf life, and odor.
ACT: Determine the Root Cause of Contamination and Make Decisions Based on Risk
Determine the Transmission Route from Raw Materials to Finished Products
Through a site-wide investigation involving targeted sampling strategies, you can identify the origin of contamination within your facility.
Map and Trace Process Vulnerabilities
After comprehensive sampling including environmental monitoring, water, raw materials, in-process, and packaging, SMARTBIOME™ will provide a map of your operation that identifies susceptible areas, helping you visualize your contamination trails.
Implement Action Plans Based on Your Data
With the assistance of the bioMérieux team of experts, you will develop and implement remediation plans based on the origin of your contamination and vulnerability map. Effectiveness will be verified through follow-up testing and analysis, with additional measures put in place as determined by results.
PREVENT: Stay Ahead of Contamination with Complete Understanding of Your Facility
Analyze Risks in your Process
Through regular sampling and testing, receive risk indicators for three main criteria: hygiene, sanitation, and shelf-life. Key data points are at your fingertips within your customized SMARTBIOME™ dashboard.
Use Risk Scores to Pulse Check Problem Areas
A risk score is tailored to specific unwanted spoilers in each product matrix — “High”, “Medium” and “Low” categorizations help you identify and monitor cleaning failures, hygienic and sanitary conditions, and shelf-life factors.
Proactively Adapt Continuous Monitoring, Testing, and Preventive Measures
SMARTBIOME™ allows you to stay proactive, with continuous improvement of risk management indicators, plant health diagnosis, and predictive risk analysis using mathematical models. Active risk mitigation can directly impact cost reduction, process optimization, and increased productivity and safety.
