Phage technology for Salmonella control

Developed for the food industry to control Salmonella and prevent cross-contamination. Our bacteriophage (phage) solution Phageguard S specifically targets all prevalent Salmonella serovars, while leaving beneficial bacteria and the organoleptic properties of treated products intact. Phageguard S is USDA FDA approved, organic listed, and GRAS certified since 2013 for clean label processing. The phage solution comes in liquid form, making it applicable to a wide range of food products, without disrupting the workflow of the processing line.

Effective against all prevalent Salmonella serovars

Phageguard S is highly effective in targeting all prevalent Salmonella serovars found in the food industry. This broad effectiveness is achieved due to the unique type of phages found in Phageguard S, which were obtained during thorough research in our laboratories.

Advancing phage technology

Bacteriophages are biological organisms that serve to maintain the natural balance of bacteria, with each type of phage having the unique ability to target a specific bacterial species, up to the level of bacterial strains.

The unique efficacy of Phageguard S against all prevalent Salmonella serovars is due to the ligands of phages, which are activated by specific receptors on bacterial strains or species. Think of the receptor as a lock on the Salmonella bacteria, and the ligand of the phage as the key that fits into the lock. When the right key (ligand) fits into the lock (receptor), it opens the lock and results in the inactivation of the Salmonella bacteria. Some phage types only react to a selection of Salmonella receptors, while others target a broader range.

The performance of our phage solution, Phageguard S, has been consistently tested in numerous trials and independent studies, all of which revealed its unique ability to effectively target all prevalent Salmonella serovars present in the food industry.

Because phages target only their host bacteria, they offer a range of beneficial features for the food industry:

- Harmless to humans, animals and plants

- No impact on the organoleptic properties of treated products

- 100% natural solution

- Non-corrosive to production equipment

- No wastewater issues
