The VIDAS staphylococcal enterotoxins assay has been included in the U.S. FDA’s Bacteriological Analytical Manual for food safety testing as the recommended primary screening method for the presence of staphylococcal enterotoxins in suspect food samples and culture isolates. In addition, the VIDAS Easy Salmonella has been granted Ofﬁcial Methods of Analysis approval by AOAC b eef processors in Canada can now use a real-time BAX® System assay from DuPont Qualicon to test ground beef and beef trim for E. coli O157:H7. This rapid method delivers same-day results, providing reduced hold times and increased conﬁdence in release decisions. Health Canada, the federal department responsible for helping Canadians maintain their health, is publishing the approved method as MFLP-76: The BAX® System real-time assay for the detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in foods in volume three of the Compendium of Analytical Methods. This real-time assay has already been certiﬁed by the AOAC Research Institute as a performancetested method for detecting E. coli O157:H7 on real-world samples sizes with shortened enrichment times. Developed in collaboration with the Agricultural Research Services of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the assay quickly detects Be sure to mention, “I read about it in Food Protection Trends”!
