Listeria completely eliminated in groundbreaking RTE food production pilot
All traces of listeria spp in a highly sensitive food production environment have been successfully eliminated in a breakthrough new pilot, undertaken by Bio-Fence.
Bio-fence is an Israeli health and food tech start-up that has developed an innovative technology that stabilizes disinfectants on surfaces. The company was founded early in 2018 at The Kitchen Hub Food-tech Incubator.
Today, when surfaces are sanitized during routine disinfection procedures, the disinfectant used has a very short efficiency period and lifespan. Therefore, sanitizers need to be constantly reapplied to the surfaces to maintain effectiveness. Even so, the results aren’t always adequate.
The Bio-fence additive is added to coatings, which can then be applied to various surfaces such as floors, walls, ceilings, and more.
Now, when a routine disinfection process is carried out, the Bio-fence coated surfaces prolong the activity of the disinfectant used - by hours, days and even weeks.
As a disruptive technology, Bio-fence significantly alters the way sanitation works. Our mission is to establish a new standard in high touch surface hygiene.
In our post-pandemic market, there are fundamental problems in many industries that do not yet have satisfactory solutions. Controlling Listeria and Salmonella is a huge problem in the food industry. Pathogen bacteria outbreaks are costly and damage a company’s reputation.
Coating ‘high care’ production room infrastructure with Bio-fence technology can help eliminate cross contamination and biofilm occurrences.
Bio-fence offers a longer lasting anti-microbial additive with up to 99.9999% efficacy*, that is free of metal ions, versatile, sustainable and free from regulations
*According to ISO22196 & ISO 21702 tests.
Bio-fence’s patented functional additive, based on organic polymers, is added to resin-made products or coatings, which can then be applied to various material infrastructures such as floors, walls, metals plastic or wood.
The coating can be used in the food industry, hospitals, and healthcare institutes where the level of hygiene is crucial and routine sanitation processes are carried out.
Listeria is one of the major causative agents that accounts for serious diseases in humans and animals through the consumption of milk and other dairy products as well as meat, poultry, and ready to-eat products. World Health Organization (WHO) (2007-2015)
Bio-fence’s technology embedded in the industrial topcoat, provides a powerful anti microbial coating that stabilizes and prolongs the activity of chorine even under heavy organic load and wet conditions.
Using Chlorine as part of routine sanitation successfully eliminated the presence of Listeria sp for the entire duration of the pilot. There was a high level of total hygiene as reflected by EB and TC readings achieved compared to the control period.
Bio-Fence says its chemical mix-in prolongs the effectiveness of disinfectants against E. coli, salmonella and, most critically listeria bacteria.
Start-up company Bio-Fence has created an innovative polymer that, when added to a topcoat/paint, binds disinfectant to the surface, increasing sanitation efficiency and eliminating pathogenic bacteria.
