Environmental Monitoring Program

Insights from Jack Van der Sanders, International Food Safety Leader concerning Environmental Monitoring Program.

Quantification as a Tool

"One of the components of this partnership with bioMérieux is the access to the services of the Predictive Diagnostics Innovation Center. The idea is that we can go to the planning, do this mapping, see the numbers, isolate the pathogens, and then the next stage is is sequencing and fingerprinting and finding the source to see the behavior of those organisms in the system."

In this video, Benjamin Pascal explains how to get next-day Alicyclobacillus and guaiacol producer results thanks to one of our latest innovation: GENE-UP® PRO ACB.

4. Unlock In-Hand Data, Generate More to Better Predict

Dairy products are complex to manufacture. In order to achieve optimal levels of control, numerous components are required. It’s important to generate data in high quantities at a maximum level of frequency, with the analysis carried out by system and data experts to allow us to master the process. In parallel, as we already have a decent amount of data we can get started.

2. Quality at the Heart of Dairy - Gérald Andriot

Isigny Sainte-Mère is an independent dairy cooperative located in Normandy (France) whose origins date back to 1909. The rich pastures of this exceptional terroir are the source of prestigious and luxuriant grazing, a truly great source of butter and cream.

3. World is Changing: Be Reactive & Reliable - Florence Hery

In a fast-changing world, having fast & reliable results is key when it comes to the quality of infant formula. The hard work invested by both companies, allowed the time-to-result to be reduced from 96 hours, to 20 hours.

Discover how common values (active listening, expertise, quality) forge the partnership between both companies.

Contract Brewing

Denise Morin (QA/QC Manager, Beau’s Brewing) discusses contract brewing and the uncertainty that comes with transporting beer from their facility to another. VERIFLOW® helps give them peace of mind during this process by allowing them to check beer quality both before and after transport.

4. From Partnership to Innovation… and Towards a Predictive Approach

Saving time as well as unlocking value from data are benefits of moving towards a preventive strategy rather than a corrective one: this is the next step according to Gérald Andriot, COO at Isigny Sainte-Mère. bioMérieux's goal is to bring the right answer through Predictive Diagnostics.

Preserve the value of your wine

Rapidly detect common wine spoilers before bottling in both red and white wines with VERIFLOW® BOTTLESAFE™. The VERIFLOW® BOTTLESAFE™ pre-bottling quality tools validate filtration and ensure your carefully crafted wines are free of common spoilage bacteria and yeast, protecting your vintage bottles and your brand.

Predicting is the New Preventing

"If you have good testing at the end, nothing goes out to the market that will be wrong, but if your prevention fails and you detect it, then it goes into waste, and won’t enter the market. Our promise is always to work on prevention. We don't want waste in our plants, but we have a very robust sampling plan and a lot of methods that we use to test different parameters or attributes of the food that we release."

Changing the Game of Third-Party Testing Labs

"Working with bioMérieux has been really fun, because we've just been so excited about the results. We're so happy to see that this system is working well through all of these matrices and that it will be that quick turnaround time for our partners, our clients."

Listening Leads to Customized Solutions

"There's a lot of different microbiology testing platforms out there, a lot of different testing companies, but the best advantage, and one of the reasons I love working with bioMérieux, is the customer service has been over the top."

From Spreadsheet to Analysis to Real-Time Data

"We are moving away from paperwork into systems that are integrated nationally and internationally, hopefully internationally, to ensure continuity of all information."

Protecting the Quality of the Tillamook Brand

"The products we use from bioMérieux have helped us bring all of our testing in-house. Because we have all of our testing in-house, we have been certified for ISO 17025, which means that we are certified to the industry ISO standards, and we can release product based on real data that's accurate and is comparable to outside labs."

Passion for Food Safety

"As an operations manager, obviously efficiencies are important. Fast, not very complicated methods are really important to the operations. But also performing those steps to a high standard."

The Importance of Data in Food Safety

"Data is crucial in any field, but more importantly, the food safety industry. As we seek to be innovative in food safety, we have to have the data behind it."

Data Confidence: The Key to Success

"When it comes to quality and safety testing, confidence is the most important thing. If you don't have confidence in your data, what are you doing? You can't operate on those results."

Finding Faster Testing Methods

"Advice to the next generation of food safety leaders is to remember that when we're making food, we're not making a product. Be very open to new technologies and new ways of doing things, don't settle for the standard old way of doing things."
