There is no impact on the taste, smell or texture of your food products, ensuring that your product retains its intended quality.

Easy to apply

Phage solutions can be easily applied to your process using existing equipment and processes, often without requiring any significant changes to the production line. Phages are so versatile that they can meet the unique needs of your specific food product and processing environment. Over the years we have worked with companies across many different industry sectors.

Natural and sustainable

You won’t have to declare our ‘clean label’ solutions on your product label. They enable you to reduce or eliminate your reliance on chemicals, minimizing the risk of chemical residues and bacterial resistance on your food products and food contact surfaces. Alternatively phages can be applied as a multi-hurdle approach in combination with chemical treatments for controlling and neutralizing harmful bacteria. In addition, using phages instead of chemicals enhances worker safety. They do not corrode your equipment and pose no wastewater problems. All of these factors contribute to a cleaner and safer production environment.

Frequently asked questions

Phageguard is a natural solution that utilizes bacteriophages, or 'phages', which is a natural solution that only interact with and neutralize specific harmful bacteria in meat.
