LANSING,
Mich., June 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Neogen® Corporation (NASDAQ: NEOG), an
innovative leader in food safety solutions, announced today that
the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection
Service (USDA FSIS) has named the Neogen Molecular Detection System
as its primary method to be used for the detection of
Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes testing for
meat, poultry and egg products.
USDA FSIS has been using the Neogen Molecular Detection System
for Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes for over
five years, attesting to the reliability and efficiency of
the system. As part of the new contract, the agency also selected
Listeria spp. and the newly available Neogen
Molecular Detection Assay 2 – Salmonella
Enteritidis/Salmonella Typhimurium.
"Food producers and contract labs around the world have long
trusted the Neogen Molecular Detection System as a fast, accurate,
reliable, and easy-to-use method for pathogen detection," said
John Adent, Neogen's President and
CEO. "We are proud to receive this recognition and demonstrate our
continued commitment to fueling a brighter future for global food
security."
The Neogen Molecular Detection System (MDS) makes the detection
of foodborne pathogens simple and fast by utilizing loop-mediated
isothermal DNA amplification (LAMP) technology. The Neogen MDS
system utilizing LAMP technology provides food manufacturers with
speed and ease in identifying these pathogens.
The system simultaneously accommodates individual,
pathogen-specific assays, enabling users in meat, poultry, and
other food and beverage categories to run up to 96 different tests
concurrently for a range of organisms and across various food and
environmental samples. The next-generation Neogen Molecular
Detection Assays have been consistently validated by leading
scientific validation organizations throughout the world
(AOAC® INTERNATIONAL, AFNOR, MicroVal) for a
comprehensive variety of sample types.
