FMCG Industry Solutions PhageGuard Listex anti-listeria product

Listeria is such a hardy microorganism. Even with the best cleaning and sanitation programs in place, listeria cells can still enter a processing line when least expected. Even after increasing sanitiser dosage, the pathogen can still persist, spreading to other parts of the processing line and further contaminating a production process and product. This can result in a listeria detection or, worse still, a product recall.

To minimise this risk, FMCG Industry Solutions has developed an anti-listeria product called PhageGuard Listex.

The natural biological solution is designed to specifically target and eliminate Listeria from the environment, including areas protected by biofilms.

Users can simply simple add the solution directly into their product to minimise the risk of Listeria. Listex is designed to destroy any cells present during storage. This includes ready-to-eat (RTE) food products and will not affect taste, odour or texture.

The product is approved by Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) as a processing aid.
