Foreign material recalls in dairy products can significantly undermine consumer trust and result in financial losses. A recent survey indicates that confidence in U.S. food safety has declined, particularly among Gen Z and certain demographic groups. However, advances in detection technologies are helping companies identify and address contamination issues before they reach consumers.
The Celsis AutoSampler, a high-throughput, robotic sampling unit for the Celsis InnovateTM rapid microbial screening system for the dairy and beverage industry, is now available globally. By automating the few manual processes used in the Celsis rapid detection process, each AutoSampler enables companies to test up to 500 samples per hour while reducing human error.
