USDA FSIS CHOOSES SYSTEC EQUIPMENT TO ENHANCE FOOD SAFETY

✨ USDA FSIS CHOOSES SYSTEC EQUIPMENT TO ENHANCE FOOD SAFETY ✨

Did you know that the United States Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA-FSIS) is at the forefront of ensuring food safety with the support of modern equipment such as Systec Mediaprep and Systec Mediafill?

Role of USDA-FSIS:
As a leading public health agency, USDA-FSIS not only ensures that the commercial supply of meat, poultry, and egg products is safe, but also inspects food products such as processed meats, sausages, and ready-to-eat foods. They strive to detect hazards such as Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria during testing at their Alameda, California laboratory.

Systec Mediaprep - Smart solutions for laboratories:
The Systec Mediaprep automated system efficiently sterilizes and prepares culture media, quickly meeting laboratory demands. Since 2004, USDA-FSIS has actively used this equipment, including the Mediaprep-10 and Mediaprep-120 units, producing up to 500 liters of culture media per week. This supports testing approximately 37,000 samples per year, in just four hours!

Interview with Supervisor Brooks Wong:
Mr. Brooks Wong, Microbiology Laboratory Supervisor at USDA-FSIS, shared: "Using Systec equipment saves us significant time and improves testing efficiency. We are completely satisfied with this product!"

Systec Mediafill System - Flexible and Convenient:
With Systec Mediafill, the laboratory can produce media plates on-site, saving time and enhancing testing efficiency.

Conclusion:
To further enhance efficiency in food safety testing, USDA-FSIS has acquired an additional Mediaprep-120 unit for their new facility. Mr. Wong recommends that other FSIS laboratories adopt this technology to achieve optimal results!
