Listeria is a persistent bacteria, so its no surprise that it can occur even when precautions are taken. In these cases, it is imperative that action is taken to eliminate the listeria at its source. Regular cleaning and sanitation is a vital part of this process, but for a specific, targeted solution Phageguard Listex is a unique solution, approved by FSANZ as a processing aid.
PhageGuard contributes to safer food production by using phages. As the natural enemy of bacteria, phages specifically kill pathogens like Salmonella and Listeria, and leave the good ones intact. They are green, smart and easy to apply on food via spraying, misting or dipping. Phages can also be used directly on food contact surfaces or in the processing environment.
