Food & beverage manufacturers, given recent recalls, are you looking to strengthen your Environmental Monitoring Program (#EMP)? This is a great time to evaluate your entire program to identify gaps. > Are you swabbing in the right locations? > Randomizing your swabs and challenging the entire production area? > Mapping pass/fail points for source tracking? > Targeting the right organisms? The possible areas of improvement are as varied as the products being produced! If you need help closing the gaps in your EMP and maximizing #foodsafety, our team can help.   https://hubs.ly/Q02WNlJ20  #EnvironmentalMonitoring #QualityControl

🎨 Team bonding + creativity = one spook-tacular night at Pinot's Palette! Our Tustin, Calif., lab team took a break from the lab coats and donned aprons for a Halloween-themed paint night. From eerie graveyards to autumn leaves, each canvas tells a story – and our team brought all the personality! A huge shoutout to everyone who joined in and unleashed their inner artist. Moments like these remind us that teamwork is as much about chemistry outside the lab as it is inside. Here’s to more team-building, laughter, and creativity! What should we paint next? 🎃 #TeamBuilding #HalloweenFun

Manufacturers of #supplements and #health foods, when it comes to the protein in your products, quality matters. Your product's PDCAAS (Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score) is a powerful metric for ensuring that proteins meet both nutritional and regulatory standards. 👁 Here’s a quick look: 1. #PDCAAS considers amino acid content and digestibility - capturing the full nutritional value of protein. 2. Proteins like eggs, milk, and whey score 1.0, meaning they’re complete and highly digestible. In contrast, pea protein (0.82) and wheat protein (0.42) fall lower on the list. 3. With PDCAAS testing, you’re not just meeting standards; you’re assuring consumers they’re getting exactly what’s on the label. 4. Facing formulation tweaks? PDCAAS testing keeps your quality intact, even if protein sources shift. Dive deeper into how your product's PDCAAS can help your quality and marketing efforts. https://hubs.ly/Q02WNmcL0

Few things are more frightening to a food safety and quality assurance professional than a false negative. But false positives are also a major concern. They waste resources and hurt your brand if you recall a product out of an abundance of caution. Several factors can trigger a false positive, such as... > Cross-contamination during sampling. > Incorrect culture media or incubation time. > Non-conforming, non-viable, or stress-adapted microbes detected by molecular methods. Molecular methods used for screening, like PCR, are more sensitive than culturing. They can detect even small amounts of bacterial DNA, including from non-conforming microbes, which are bacteria that carry the target genetic material but do not grow in culture media.   This means a positive molecular test with a negative cultural confirmation doesn’t necessarily mean a “false positive”. It's an invitation to think outside the "false positive" framework when your samples screen positive but culturally confirm negative. We make sense of it all in our latest article: https://hubs.ly/Q02VVHsV0 If you still have questions, our scientists are here to help; just message us! #microbiology #foodsafety
