SafePro - natural protection against Listeria in meat products
Chr. Hansen's bioprotective culture SafePro helps reduce the incidence or growth of pathogens and spoilage bacteria during meat processing. It is a new area, but the advantages are clear.
Listeria monocytogenes is a pathogen responsible for many foodborne ilnesses, and is a recognized problem in lightly preserved foods such as sliced meat products, minced meat and fermented sausages.
Fight Listeria in meat with bioprotective cultures
To help prevent Listeria contamination, food manufacturers rely on better factory hygiene and stronger chemical and physical preservation methods - which can be less appealing due to inefficiency, consumer resistance and off-flavor problems.
Our bioprotective culture range SafePro is designed to help reduce the incidence or growth of pathogens and spoilage bacteria during processing, as well as protect the flavor and color attributes of the final food product. It is a new area for both Chr. Hansen and our customers, and the advantages are clear.
SafePro has achieved good results in products such as:
- Dried fermented sausages
- Chipolata
- Hot dog sausages
- Cooked ham
- Teewurst
The SafePro range
B-2
Inhibits natural spoilage flora and the pathogen Listeria monocytogenes in meat packed in modified atmosphere or vacuum.
B-FM
Inhibits growth of Listeria monocytogenes primarily in meat products, which are sliced or diced after cooking.
B-LC-20
Inhibits growth of Listeria monocytogenes in sausage production without changing the sausage recipe or the processing procedure.
B-SF-43
Inhibits growth of Listeria monocytogenes. This protective culture is used as a natural alternative to chemical additives by producers of various high quality meat products.
F-LC
Inhibits the growth of Listeria monocytogenes in all types of fermented sausage, while also providing an effective acidification and desirable, stable color. Depending on fermentation temperature, acidification is either traditional, fast or extra fast.
B-LC-35
In order to reduce presence of Listeria monocytogenes in the final fermented sausage, SafePro® B-LC-35 has been added to the product range to fulfill certain customers? need to obtain a similar reduction of Listeria monocytogenes as F-LC but with a milder acidification.
B-LC-48
Recommended for bioprotection of different types of Ready-To-Eat food products which are packed under vacuum or modified atmosphere and cold-stored. Works particularly well in cooked and sliced meat products, Wiener sausages and fresh cheese.
