Introducing Hygiena's foodproof® Salmonella plus Cronobacter Detection LyoKit: A Game-Changer for Infant Formula Safety
Why Infant Formula Manufacturers Need Advanced Pathogen Detection
Ensuring the safety of infant formula and related ingredients is a top priority for manufacturers worldwide. Regulatory bodies, including the EFSA, FSANZ, SAMR and FDA, mandate stringent testing to prevent contamination by Salmonella and Cronobacter—two pathogens that pose serious health risks to infants. However, traditional testing methods require separate tests for each pathogen, increasing time, cost, and complexity.
Hygiena® is revolutionizing food safety with the foodproof® Salmonella plus Cronobacter Detection LyoKit, the first and only ISO-validated solution that allows manufacturers to detect both Salmonella and Cronobacter in a single test. This breakthrough simplifies workflows, accelerates results, and enhances operational efficiency for powder infant formula producers and ingredient suppliers.
The Industry's First and Only ISO-Validated Test to Detect Both Salmonella and Cronobacter
Single Assay Detects Both Salmonella and Cronobacter
Infant formula manufacturers are legally required to test for Salmonella and Cronobacter in their products. Traditional solutions require manufacturers to perform separate tests for each pathogen, leading to increased costs and time delays.
Hygiena is the first-to-market and only provider that enables manufacturers to prepare one sample and obtain both Salmonella and Cronobacter results simultaneously. This game-changing capability streamlines compliance with global food safety regulations, ensuring product integrity and consumer safety.
ISO-Validated for Assurance
The foodproof Salmonella plus Cronobacter Detection LyoKit is ISO-validated and AFNOR-certified, ensuring high accuracy and compliance with international food safety standards. Manufacturers can confidently rely on this test to detect both pathogens with:
- 100% inclusivity for 100 Salmonella and 50 Cronobacter strains
- 100% exclusivity against 30 non-target strains, reducing false positives
With such comprehensive detection, food safety teams can trust that their results are precise, reliable, and regulatory-compliant.
Faster and More Cost-Effective Pathogen Testing
Achieve Rapid Results in Less than 1 Day
Speed is crucial in food safety testing. The foodproof Salmonella plus Cronobacter Detection LyoKit provides accurate results in just 19 hours, allowing manufacturers to make quicker decisions and release products faster than ever.
Our test outperforms all alternative methods, which often require 18–20 hours of incubation for a single pathogen target. At Hygiena, we’ve shortened the enrichment time to just 16 hours while detecting both Salmonella and Cronobacter simultaneously. This faster testing reduces holding times, lowers testing costs, and minimizes the risk of product recalls—ensuring consumer health and safeguarding brand integrity.
User-Friendly Workflow for Maximum Efficiency
Designed for Simplicity and Accuracy
Hygiena’s easy-to-use workflow simplifies testing processes and maximizes efficiency. Key benefits include:
- Lyophilized chemistry to enhance stability and reduce handling, lowering contamination risks
- Streamlined operation with fewer hands-on steps, making testing faster and more efficient
- User-friendly workflow, allowing laboratory personnel to conduct tests with minimal training
