The power of applied phage technology
Phageguard enhances nature’s own power for controlling food pathogens in the food industry: the bacteriophage. Through applied phage technology, we offer a range of natural, non-hazardous solutions that specifically target Salmonella, Listeria, and E. coli (STEC). With this precision, our bacteriophage products enable food processors to achieve effective control of relevant pathogenic species and serotypes, down to its strain level.
Preserve delicate sensory attributes
As a result of the precise targeting bacteriophages offer, our bacteriophage products specifically inactivate Salmonella, Listeria, and E. coli (STEC) bacteria, while preserving nutritional values and delicate food attributes, such as color, taste, texture, and odor.
Non-hazardous and non-corrosive
Our bacteriophage products are harmless to humans, animals, and plants, and do not cause corrosion to production equipment or the environment. Improve food safety without posing plant workers to hazardous substances and prevent expensive equipment replacements caused by contamination or corrosion.
Entirely natural, without harsh chemicals
Dilutable and made entirely from naturally derived components. Our bacteriophage products are free from harsh and synthetic chemicals to support modern processing standards, offering a suitable food safety solution for organic processing lines (USDA NOP standards).
Validated bacteriophage solutions for taking control of food safety
The efficacy of our bacteriophage products against Salmonella, Listeria, and E. coli (STEC) is consistently validated in our R&D laboratory, ranging from species such as Listeria innocua to specific serotypes and strain levels, including monophasic Salmonella Typhimurium 4,[5],12:i:-. Supported by a comprehensive body of literature conducted by reputable universities and research institutes around the globe, and by a team with years of experience in real-world industrial implementations, our bacteriophage solutions offer a reliable alternative or addition to a wide range of food safety management systems for improved food pathogen control.
PGS is effective against all prevalent Salmonella serotypes encountered in the food industry, including the top 10 serotypes in chicken, turkey, beef, and pork, as stated by the FSIS-USDA
PGS is continuously undergoing performance studies in our R&D laboratory and demonstrates activity against 40+ Salmonella serotypes, representing 150+ industrially obtained strains
PGS is compatible with multi-hurdle approaches, OMRI-Organic listed, holds FDA GRAS status, is produced in a FSSC 22000 facility, halal certified, and kosher certified
Sectors
Enhance your food safety management system
Different application possibilities are available for applying our phage solutions, often without requiring any significant changes to the production line. Depending on your production size, processing line, and product type, multiple techniques for application can be used. To ensure the effectiveness, our specialists work closely with you to determine the optimal dilution and application method tailored to your production needs.
Analysis of current situation
Each process is different. Based on your product and production process, we will analyze the estimated dose response needed and the application possibilities available. This way we can provide you with the correct information to outline what can be expected.
Start todayTrial and evaluation
Tailored to your process, needs and wishes, we propose and initiate a trial based on your production size and pathogen concern. After receiving the rendered results, we finetune the application and/or dose where needed to optimize results.
Implementation
During this step, we discuss the needed volume and set up a plan together to keep your food safety at the desired level.
