Spoilage Testing

Solve spoilage outbreaks, extend shelf-life, reduce waste, and protect your brand's taste and quality

Microbial spoilage is an ongoing challenge in food production.

Many face issues trying to pinpoint them. They are responsible for degradation, compromised product quality, increased waste, and costly delays, leaving companies reactive rather than proactive in addressing spoilage.

At TAAG Europe, we aim to change this dynamic. Our multiplex qPCR kits are engineered to detect a broad range of spoilage microorganisms in a single test, that offer a level of efficiency and accuracy that traditional methods cannot match.

We specialize in spoilage issues for:

  • Beverages: Beer, Non-Alcoholic Beer, Carbonated Soft Drinks, Juices
  • Dairy Products: Milk, Yogurt, Cheese
  • Sauces & Dressings

Using targeted PCR and NGS, we identify the specific yeast, mold, or bacteria causing your problem, providing the insights you need to fix it at the source.

Our tests main benefits

Free Up Working Capital

Simultaneously detect and identify multiple microorganisms in a single PCR reaction, accelerating tests and product release to minimize inventory tied up in storage, giving your business more liquidity to fuel growth.

Reduce Operational Costs

Shorten the time products spend in storage, reducing expenses like space rental, energy, and handling; boosting your bottom line.

Increased available shelf life

Because products spend less time waiting in storage, they reach the market faster, preserving shelf life and extending time for distribution and sale, improving quality and reducing waste.

Minimized risk of recall

Early detection of spoilage reduces product loss, risk of product recall and enhances quality control.

Broad and precise detection

Detect 50+ targets at once for a complete view of potential contamination sources. Gaining precise data to make faster, smarter decisions.

2.5x

Faster testing than traditional culturing methods, improving time-to-market

By providing a clearer picture of the microbial load and types of contaminants in food, our tests enable manufacturers to make informed, data-driven decisions that can mitigate risks before spoilage becomes an issue.
