XP-Design Assay Salmonella Serotyping Solution
Bio-Rad contact form
Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc. has launched its XP-Design Assay Salmonella Serotyping Solution designed for the rapid detection and precise characterization of Salmonella in food and environmental samples. Bio-Rad's assays leverage real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology to amplify and detect specific DNA sequences of target serotypes using fluorescent probes. Molecular serotyping of Salmonella allows for fast reaction and decision-making during an outbreak event, and can aid in the monitoring of specific serotypes in the food processing plant environment.

TraceGains contact form
TraceGains has launched its new Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) solution for material compliance and lot-level ingredient quality control. Purpose-built to streamline Certificate of Analysis (COA) processing and ensure a product's compliance in terms of quality, performance, and safety, TraceGains' IDP eliminates the need for manual processes while improving accuracy and operational efficiency across workflows. TraceGains' IDP improves processes by automatically reviewing inbound COAs against required specifications, flagging potential issues where additional human oversight is needed. Additionally, food and beverage supply chains can circulate millions of non-standardized documents among suppliers, manufacturers, and retailers. The IDP system also learns over time, enhancing data extraction and accuracy as more documents are processed.
Fully Integrated Nut Processing Line
Key Technology: +1 509-529-2161
PPM Technologies contact form
Duravant's Key Technology and PPM Technologies have jointly introduced a new, fully integrated nut processing line. Bringing together Key's and PPM's technologies, the turnkey system processes nuts from post-shelling to packaging, including grading, sorting, oil roasting, seasoning, and other steps. Ideal for almonds, walnuts, pistachios, peanuts, pecans, hazelnuts, cashews, and all other tree nuts, the processing line can accommodate varying capacities, suitable for both large industrial producers and small operations moving from batch to continuous processing. The fully automated line reduces manual labor through centralized controls, enabling single-operator management across multiple technologies. All equipment is hygienically designed for optimal food safety including stainless-steel construction, open designs, and tool-less disassembly for thorough cleaning.
Software Optimizes Downtime for Poultry Flock Transitions
contact@ancera.com
Precision Downtime, a new software solution from Ancera, helps poultry integrators reduce downtime during flock transitions by leveraging real-time, farm-specific data based on microbial risk assessments. The software is already in use at a small bird complex, where is has reduced average downtimes between flocks by one day. Ancera's Precision Downtime delivers data-driven downtime recommendations based on microbial risk assessments. The platform collects real-time data from poultry houses, analyzes microbial conditions, and prescribes the optimal number of downtime days, preventing unnecessary losses and improving the conditions for healthy birds.
New Metal Detection Product Inspection System for Foods
Loma Systems contact form
Loma Systems has announced the launch its new IQ4M Metal Detector product inspection system in North America. Loma Systems’ new IQ4M Metal Detector product inspection system is designed to address key food safety challenges, providing comprehensive contaminant detection while minimizing false rejects. The IQ4M Metal Detector combines Loma's patented Variable Frequency technology with advanced Multi-Spectrum detection to effectively find contaminants in packaged meat and poultry, bakery items, convenience food, and metallized film products used in the snack and confectionery industries. Dynamic Data Screen+ (DDS+) technology offers improved signal analysis, while Quick Recovery technology reduces downtime by facilitating faster product switching and minimizing false rejects.
Corbion Launches Clean-Label Mold Inhibitor for Baked Goods
Corbion contact form
Corbion has introduced a new, clean-label ingredient for mold inhibition in baked goods—Verdad Essence WH100, a cultured wheat solution that delivers natural mold inhibition without compromising taste, texture, or shelf life. The new solution provides bakers with an effective alternative to artificial preservatives, making it easier to meet market demands for cleaner ingredient lists and extended freshness. Verdad Essence WH100 integrates seamlessly into existing formulations, helping bakeries maintain artisanal appeal and freshness.
Alongside Verdad Essence WH100, Corbion has enhanced its Natural Mold Inhibition Model (CNMIM), a predictive tool developed through 70 years of preservation expertise. The upgraded model compares the efficacy of different standard and natural solutions against 11 types of mold, empowering bakers to make informed decisions about their formulations, reduce costly trial-and-error in development, and minimize waste.
New and Improved Pipeline X-Ray System
Eagle Product Inspection contact
Eagle Product Inspection recently unveiled its redesigned Pipeline X-Ray System for pumped products, offering improved machine construction and built-in inspection technologies. Pipelines uses advanced PXT photon-counting dual energy X-ray technology for bone and foreign metal detection in poultry, meat, pet food, and other pumped products, with the ability to reject items before packaging or further processing with a lower false reject rate. The system offers flexible configurations and has unique features, such as a flowmeter with variable speed functionality, test ball insertion port, and reject catch port. Additionally, users can choose from multiple detection options, including single, dual, and photon-counting PXT technologies. Pipeline's construction also withstands harsh washdown conditions and has been refined to comply with North American Meat Institute (NAMI) guidelines for hygiene and sanitation. The system also fully aligns with the meat and poultry industry's Directives, Regulations, Norms, and Standards (DRNS).
