Pathotrak is revolutionizing food safety by reducing the detection time of pathogens (causing foodborne illness) from 1-2 days down to 6 hours. For the first time, producers can get results before shipping to avoid outbreaks and costly recalls as well as reduce expensive warehousing and refrigeration costs during testing holds. By streamlining logistics to one 8-hr shift, products can be released one day fresher and plant productivity increased over 30%. It’s the only USDA and FDA compliant innovation in enrichment, and it’s compatible with most current tests and seamlessly fits into producer and lab workflows. Our impact has the potential to reduce up to 50% of food waste, save trillions of gallons of water annually, and eliminate billions of pounds of methane and greenhouse gases yearly.
