Foodborne Pathogens

Foodborne Pathogens

Foodborne illnesses remain a major public health concern, often caused by the consumption of food contaminated with harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites, or their toxins. These microorganisms can enter the food supply at multiple points, from raw ingredient handling to final product processing, and are responsible for a wide range of health risks and product recalls worldwide.

In the food industry, contamination can result from inadequate hygiene practices, improper storage, or cross-contamination during production. Even low levels of pathogens can lead to serious consequences, especially in high-risk foods like meat, seafood, dairy products, and fresh produce.

BioStone Scientific supports food safety through a growing range of test kits for sensitive, fast, and simple detection of foodborne pathogens and related contaminants.
