Roka Bioscience has published a white paper on the detection of Salmonella in peanut products, developed to address the threat Salmonella poses to the global food supply, and highlight the importance of choosing a testing solution and method that minimizes the risk for error in pathogen detection. Peanut products pose a unique threat because they can be contaminated after the roasting process by water or other vectors where the pathogen can survive for at least six months in peanut butter. Thus, it is critical to establish a strict food safety system and ensure the effectiveness of process controls. The test method should meet these criteria: validation, sensitivity and specificity, time to result, and error reduction and lab efficiency.
