Rapid Detection of Pathogens in Infant Food using the Assurance® GDS SystemRapid Detection of Pathogens in Infant Food using the Assurance® GDS System

Due to reported outbreaks of Cronobacter sakazakii and Salmonella infections in infants which have been epidemiologically linked to powdered infant formulas, infant formula production has become stringently regulated. In this study, we evaluated the Assurance® GDS Cronobacter Tq II kit’s capacity to detect very low CFU contamination levels of Cronobacter sakazakii ATCC® 29004 in different infant formula food products.

Identification of Salmonella in food ingredients using the Assurance GDS SystemIdentification of Salmonella in food ingredients using the Assurance GDS System

Salmonella can be quite resilient and are not killed by freezing and can also survive in acidic foods. The high resistance to drying, combined with a very high heat resistance once dried, makes Salmonella a potential problem in most foods, particularly in dry and semi-dry products (e.g. milk powder, spices etc.). This application note looks at the identification of Salmonella in active ingredients and infant formula and cereals using the Assurance® GDS.
