Meat products are highly susceptible to microbial contamination due to their nutrient-rich composition and moisture content. These microorganisms pose significant health risks and can lead to costly recalls and reputational damage. Effective microbial control is therefore critical to ensure food safety, compliance with international standards but also for protecting brand integrity, maintaining consumer trust, and securing long-term profitability in a highly competitive market.

The European Union's latest amendment, Regulation (EU) 2024/2895, sets stricter microbiological criteria for Listeria monocytogenes in ready-to-eat foods, effective July 1st, 2026. This pivotal change demands enhanced validation and rigorous compliance throughout the food supply chain. Discover the key adjustments, their impact on food manufacturers, and essential strategies to ensure adherence to the new standards.

Smoking food for preservation is a traditional method that has been used for centuries to extend the shelf-life of various foods, including meat, fish, and cheese. This process not only preserves food but also enhances its flavor, making it a popular choice among food manufacturers.

In today's food industry, the demand for cleaner labels and natural products continues to grow, as consumers look for alternatives to synthetic additives. While the term “natural” continues to be one of the main drivers of consumer preferences when it comes to food products, it remains somewhat ambiguous. Preserving food without relying on artificial chemicals has therefore become a priority, prompting industries to explore solutions derived from nature that are both effective and safe.

Food waste is a pressing issue that affects our environment, economy, and society. In the United States alone, it is estimated that nearly 60 million tons of food are discarded annually, equating to approximately 40 percent of the entire food supply. This staggering amount of waste has far-reaching implications, contributing significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and the depletion of valuable resources.

Preservatives these days are under high pressure, as common ingredients as they might be in our food. When asking consumers which ingredients they are actively trying to limit, "artificial preservatives" rises high on the list of answers with 26% of consumers marking them, according to a recent Innova study, giving it the same score as "artificial additives".
