🚨 Mission Critical: Protecting Food Safety with Rapid, Reliable Testing 🚨 In the food industry, safety isn’t just a priority—it’s non-negotiable. Every step in the supply chain, from farm to fork, operates under immense pressure to prevent contamination, meet strict regulations, and maintain consumer trust. Yet, traditional food pathogen testing is too slow, prone to false positives, and disrupts operations—leading to costly recalls and serious public health risks. That’s where SWIFTR Bio is transforming food safety. Our CRISPR-based biosensor technology detects Listeria, Salmonella, and other pathogens in just one hour—a game-changer for food producers and processors who can’t afford delays. ✔ Rapid & Reliable – No more waiting days for test results ✔ High Accuracy – Reduces false positives and unnecessary shutdowns ✔ Minimized Waste & Recalls – Catch contamination before it spreads ✔ Regulatory Confidence – Stay compliant with evolving food safety laws With regulators tightening restrictions and consumers demanding greater transparency, food safety innovation is no longer optional—it’s essential. Industry leaders like Waitrose, JBS, and 2 Sisters Food Group are already prioritizing rapid diagnostics. Is your company ready for the future of food safety? 🔍 Learn how SWIFTR Bio can help you detect, prevent, and protect—faster than ever.

✨ The Food Industry is Fighting Listeria Contaminations ✨   The truth about Listeria contaminations ➡️ Persistent bacteria – Listeria monocytogenes can survive under diverse conditions such as refrigeration and chemical disinfection ➡️ Challenges in detection – traditional microbiological methods take up to 5 days to confirm the presence of the pathogen and cannot detect live but non-culturable Listeria.   What is needed in the fight against Listeria contaminations 👉 Rapid, accurate, on-site tools – giving the food industry professionals the ability to make interventions happen in real-time 👉 Detection of live but non-culturable bacteria – unlike microbiological culturing methods, these need to be able to detect the most difficult Listeria state 👉 Integration of modern testing methods into food safety protocols – to comply with regulatory standards whilst protecting consumers 👉 Collaboration – between regulators, food industry professionals and microbiology experts Those tools already exist. At the forefront of this transformation are SWIFTR Bio biosensors, a groundbreaking tool that enables rapid, accurate detection of pathogens like Listeria monocytogenes. Why SWIFTR Bio biosensors? They provide speed, precision and scalability and can be integrate into food safety protocols and quality management systems, so the industry can address contamination risks more effectively. Do you want to be part of this journey? Let’s talk about how SWIFTR Biosensors can help you.    Enca Martin-Rendon, PhD, FRSB, Edward Fuchs, Harry Thompson and Nathan Cox are our experts.

SWIFTR Biosensor Market Research Highlights the Need for Rapid On-Site Pathogen Testing Recent market research has reinforced the demand for fast, accurate pathogen testing across the food industry. Conducted with experts in food processing, safety, and public health, this study examined current testing protocols and the potential impact of SWIFTR biosensors, which leverages CRISPR and lateral flow technologies for rapid, on-site pathogen detection. Key findings include: - Strong industry interest in fast, on-site diagnostic tests that eliminate the delays of lab-based testing. - Speed and accuracy are seen as critical, with poultry managers calling rapid tests “the holy grail” for the industry. - The simplicity of SWIFTR was praised, particularly given the shift toward transient teams in poultry production. - Early detection at the farm level was emphasized as essential to preventing contamination further down the supply chain. - Beyond poultry, there is significant interest in testing for pathogens in ready meals, infant formula, chocolate, and food processing water systems. With clear industry demand and valuable insights from this research, the SWIFTR team is now refining the biosensor’s technical development to meet the evolving needs of food safety professionals.

🚀 The Future of Food Safety: Rapid Diagnostics for Listeria 🥗🔬 Food safety isn’t just a regulatory requirement—it’s a public health priority. With Listeria monocytogenes continuing to pose a major threat to food manufacturers and consumers alike, innovation in detection methods is more crucial than ever. Traditional culture-based testing can take up to 5 days—a costly delay that can allow contaminated products to enter the market. But the rise of rapid diagnostics is changing the game, enabling detection in just 1 hour! 🔹 PCR & qPCR – Highly sensitive, but expensive and complex 🔹 Conventional Lateral Flow Tests (LFTs) – Fast and easy but lack accuracy 🔹 SWIFTR’s CRISPR-Biosensors – A breakthrough in Listeria detection! ✅ Ultra-sensitive ✅ Highly specific ✅ Portable & user-friendly With recent regulatory changes in the EU enforcing zero tolerance for Listeria in ready-to-eat foods, food producers need reliable, fast, and accessible solutions to stay compliant and protect public health. At SWIFTR Bio we’re committed to delivering next-generation diagnostics that empower food safety professionals to act faster, reduce recalls, and safeguard consumers. 🛡️ 🔍 Read the full blog here: https://lnkd.in/enQfUi_h How is your company adapting to the latest Listeria regulations? Let’s discuss in the comments! 👇 #FoodSafety #Listeria #RapidTesting #Biotech #Innovation #SWIFTRBIO
