Phage technology for turkey processors

Control Salmonella and comply with local food safety requirements set by government agencies, such as the USDA-FSIS poultry performance standards. Phageguard S (PGS) offers a highly effective and OMRI organic listed bacteriophage intervention that precisely targets all prevalent Salmonella serotypes present in raw turkey processing. Phageguard S does not cause discoloration of the meat and has no impact on the taste, texture, or odor of the final product. This ensures raw turkey processors to control Salmonella, while remaining the desired quality and modern brand values like natural/organic turkey products.

Control Salmonella in raw turkey, down to the serotype level

Phageguard S provides a natural bacteriophage intervention for turkey processors, applicable to a wide range of turkey products such as sausages and (pre-) ground meat. During raw turkey processing, different stages are vulnerable to Salmonella (cross-) contamination. Critical control points include the mixing and grinding of meat from various turkey sources, as well as contact points with production equipment. Through applied bacteriophage technology, Phageguard S enables targeted control of all prevalent Salmonella serotypes in poultry, including multidrug-resistant (MDR) variants, and those of particular concern in raw turkey processing, such as:

  • S. Hadar

  • S. Muenchen

  • S. Senftenberg

  • S. Typhimurium

  • S. I 4,[5],12:i:-

  • S. Reading

  • S. Agona
