Challenge your products - microbiologically


Dr Gail Betts from our Microbiology Department was recently invited to participate in a National Reference Laboratory meeting in France, hosted by ANSES, the French Community Reference Laboratory for Listeria. The meeting discussed protocols for Listeria challenge testing, as part of work to produce a guideline for EU-wide distribution. We were the only non-reference laboratory invited to the meeting, which is an indication of our key role in providing challenge testing services for the industry, particularly Listeria challenge testing.

Challenge testing can play a key role in determining the microbiological shelf-life of chilled and similar food and drink products. For a brief guide to shelf-life testing, send an e-mail to auto@campdenbri.co.uk with the subject line: send shelf-life

And have a listen to our podcast on shelf-life determination
