Spoilage Detection

Stay Ahead Of Spoilage

Spoilage Detection

Traditional testing methods for spoilage organisms can take up to ten days. Rapidly detect spoilage organisms with our suite of solutions that help you detect faster and act sooner.

Your First Line of Defense Against Spoilage

Spoilers are organisms (that are not pathogens) that cause an organoleptic change that makes a product undesirable or unacceptable for consumption.​ Spoilers like Alicyclobacillus bacteria, Pseudomonas, yeast, Rhodotorula spores, Saccharomyces, mold, various Penicillium species, and Mucor​ can degrade food quality and shelf life by impacting taste, smell, appearance, and texture. It’s important to have a comprehensive testing plan for spoilers for brand protection and cost saving​s.

Rapid and accurate detection of spoilage organisms throughout the production process is essential to prevent costly issues, such as:

  • Detecting spoilage too late, leading to product waste and financial loss
  • Failing to detect spoilage before products reach consumers, resulting in severe brand damage and reputational harm
  • Lengthy detection times, increasing inventory levels and overall costs

bioMérieux's spoilage detection solutions are part of our Augmented Diagnostics approach, enabling comprehensive screening of spoilage organisms all along the production process (raw materials, semi-finished, finished products) while providing actionable insights.
