CytoGUARD® SAFETY portfolio includes effective, food-grade antimicrobials that offer the ultimate pathogen control and food safety protection.
American food and beverage products are among the safest in the world. But, despite comprehensive food safety programs, and rigorous governmental oversight, we still hear about the unfortunate contamination incidents and foodborne illness outbreaks.
Food safety is of the utmost importance throughout every stage of the food chain, from farm to fork. For manufacturers, it is critical to have correct safety protocols and procedures, spoilage and pathogens control in place throughout the entire manufacturing process. It is also important to ensure that they can deliver quality food that is free from harmful microbial, chemical, or physical agents. Without proper pathogen control, people are at high risk of developing foodborne illnesses and poisoning.
When products become unsafe, a food company is forced to recall such products from the store shelves to protect the consumer. Even the most well-established and admired companies may be involved in product recalls. It has become critical for food operators to boost their food safety measures to reduce the risk of product contamination and recalls. Product recalls are damaging to the company's brand and reputation, not to mention the financial implications of food recalls.

The sensory characteristics of food are important attributes of food quality, which include taste, flavor, appearance, and freshness. Consumers trust food manufacturers to provide fresh, safe products that are enjoyable to eat and maintain quality over shelf life.
CytoGUARD® FRESH solutions help food manufacturers protect the fresh flavor profile and guard against off-flavors, which are important elements of shelf life extension. CytoGUARD® provides a measure of protection for your product's taste, color, and flavor while helping extend the shelf life and maintain consumers' trust.
