Applied phage technology for the food industry
Phage technology relies on bacteriophages (phages), which are highly effective in targeting bacterial populations, including Salmonella, Listeria, and E. coli. The unique ability of phages lies in their specificity, as each phage precisely targets a specific bacterial species, down to the level of individual bacterial strains. Since 2005, Phageguard has specialized in applied phage technology, developing and producing various phage products that target a wide range of bacterial strains. This enables the food industry to achieve maximum effectiveness in controlling Salmonella, Listeria and E. coli.
Natural, targeted, and highly effective
Our phage solutions offer a natural approach that is highly effective against all prevalent Salmonella serovars, most prevalent Listeria serovars and the most pathogenic Shiga-toxin producing Escherichia coli's (STECs). Our solutions are GRAS approved by the FDA for clean label processing and certified for both kosher and halal production lines, serving a wide range of food processors worldwide.
Our phage solutions offer several benefits compared to traditional or chemical interventions, including no impact on beneficial bacteria or the organoleptic properties of treated products.
