Phage technology for E. coli control

Developed for the food industry, our bacteriophage (phage) solution Phageguard E is designed to control the Shiga-toxin producing E. coli O157 (STEC: O157) on food and for preharvest hide applications without aggressive or harmful treatments. Phageguard E is USDA FDA approved and GRAS certified, ensuring clean label processing. The phage solution comes in liquid form, making it suitable for a wide range of food products without disrupting the processing workflow.

Improving food safety from preharvest to postharvest

Phageguard E is highly effective against E. coli O157 and suitable for preharvest animal hide treatments, and postharvest control on food products such as meat. Our phages are a natural source against harmful bacteria like E. coli, and offer a non-aggressive, non-harmful, and non-hazardous solution. This ensures the safe processing of preharvest hides without compromising animal welfare, and postharvest processing without affecting organoleptic features such as color, taste, texture, and odor.

Advancing phage technology

Bacteriophages are biological organisms that serve to maintain the natural balance of bacteria. Each type of phage has the unique ability to target a specific bacterial species, down to the level of bacterial strains. This makes phage technology highly effective for controlling E. coli O157 strains found in the food industry, while providing the following benefits:

- Harmless to humans, animals and plants

- Non-corrosive to production equipment

- No wastewater issues

- Do not affect the organoleptic properties of the treated products
