Nutraceuticals

Our globally connected nutraceutical market requires that dietary supplements and functional foods be consistent at every step of the supply chain. Nutraceutical manufacturing is complex from many perspectives: natural-sourced ingredients, diverse raw materials, from many origins & multi-faceted supply chain, intricacy of the final product, changing regulations and complicated distribution networks.

Effective pathogen testing - along with increased consumer concerns about food safety - is required in order to prevent recalls and improve operational efficiency. Herbs, spices, fibers, vitamins, probiotics and prebiotics are to be tested for E. coli, Staphylococcus and Salmonella to protect consumers. 

Nutraceutical products are inherently complex, making recovery and detection of microbial contaminants a challenge. In order to meet the demand for safe products in this market, bioMérieux provides innovative, rapid & proven microbial testing solutions for nutraceuticals that result in streamlined workflows and precise results.
