SALMONELLA VISUAL

IMMUNOASSAY
A rapid and specific screening test for the detection of
Salmonella spp. in food and environmental samples.

Why test for Salmonella?


 Salmonella is regarded as one of the most serious
threats to producers and consumers of food, all
over the world.
 Food poisoning outbreaks involving this pathogen
have resulted in major product recalls and
substantial economic loss. Numerous cases of
illness and many deaths have resulted from these
outbreaks.
 Food poisoning outbreaks caused by Salmonella
spp. have involved a wide range of foods including,
meat and meat products, poultry, eggs, milk and
dairy products, fish, shrimp, frog legs, yeast,
coconut, sauces and salad dressing, cake mixes,
cream-filled desserts and toppings, dried gelatin,
peanut butter, cocoa, chocolate and pasta.
 It is estimated that up to 4 million cases of salmonellosis occur in the U.S. annually. The
incidence of salmonellosis appears to be rising in the U.S. and other industrialised countries.
 The TECRA Visual Immunoassay (VIA) method makes testing for Salmonella fast, simple, reliable
and economical.
