Fruit and vegetables are susceptible for Listeria contamination. Listeria is found naturally in soil and water. Raw vegetables and fruits can become contaminated with Listeria either through contact with soil or with animal manure that is used as fertilizer.
PhageGuard is a natural and organic food safety intervention. Phages eliminate up to 99.9% of Listeria. Its use has no effect on taste, color, texture and odor of fruit and vegetable products.READY TO EAT
- Fruits, vegetables, salads and assembled ready to eat foods are at a high risk of Listeria contamination.
- Processors working with foods susceptible to Listeria are required to have controls to prevent (cross) contamination.
- Despite these controls, fruits & vegetables often test positive for Listeria.
