LINCOLN,
Neb., April 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Neogen® Corporation (NASDAQ: NEOG) announced today that it
has formed a genomics relationship with Performance Food Group
(NYSE: PFGC), making the company the official genomics provider for
the food group's PathProven service.
With the support of Neogen genomics' world-leading DNA testing
capabilities, Performance Food Group's PathProven food trace
technology can trace food products back to the feedlot, ocean, or
farm that they came from, allowing the entire production process to
be carefully inspected and regulated, ensuring both the quality and
origin of these products. This relationship presents a new
opportunity for Neogen to help improve efficiency and
sustainability within the protein supply chain.
"Neogen is incredibly proud to partner with Performance Food
Group and further our commitment to fueling a brighter future for
food security," said Tom Schultz,
Senior Director of USAC Livestock Production at Neogen. "Through
this relationship, Performance Food Group will implement Neogen's
portfolio, ranging from food security to discovery, within its
protein production process. This deeper integration of genomics
technology within sourcing programs will help drive greater protein
efficiencies."
"At Performance Food Group, we believe in transparency, which is
why we have a verifiable program utilizing DNA. Our flagship beef
program, Braveheart Black Angus Beef, redefines beef programs with
our rigid PathProven Program and DNA testing, which verifies Angus
genetics," said Glenn Strickholm,
President of Protein Brands at Performance Food Group. "This truly
separates our program from other certified beef programs, and
Neogen is a big part of that difference. We are so excited about
this partnership, and we look forward to seeing how it evolves in
the future."
