Intertek has completed an agreement with Alaska Food Diagnostics to evaluate its rapid, specific pathogen detection systems with Jumeriah International, Emirates, Etihad and Gulf Air.
Alaska Food Diagnostics' Fastrak diagnostic system provides next-day results - welcome news for any food manufacturer or supplier wishing to quickly and reliably ensure food safety.
The technology will be showcased at this year's ITCA, Dubai, from 3 to 5 November.
Salmonella is the most commonly implicated pathogen in aircraft food outbreaks; verotoxic E.
coli also presents a very real danger.
Fastrak's precision and high specificity eliminate false positive results, which typically categorise present - but harmless - bacteria as a danger.
It only detects and represents active contamination sources, enabling optimal productivity and time efficiency.
