VEI has utilized its unique technology and developed products for the Sanitation and Food Safety industries. These tests are the only true rapid tests that will detect bacteria contamination on the spot in less than 20 minutes and do not require any laboratory time, equipment or expense. These products are useful screening tools that will detect dangerous levels of bacteria, including e-coli and salmonella.

There are no other rapid tests on the market that detect bacteria on food products, surfaces or equipment. The other rapid tests on the market detect only ATP or sugars, which are present in all organic material. Thus, a positive result is meaningless as it will only indicate the presence of organic material and not necessarily dangerous pathogenic microorganisms.

Typical food safety and sanitation testing performed requires traditional laboratory testing by growing up cultures on culture plates. This requires laboratory equipment, trained personnel, high expense, and lengthy time (days) to receive results.

VEI’s unique products are useful to many levels of the food industry, anywhere from the grower, to the packager, to the shipper, a food preparer or restaurant. Most food industries can utilize these products, whether it is in the produce or meat industries.

VEI has also developed confirmation tests that give fast confirmation of specific bacteria. These confirmation tests save time by eliminating consecutive growth plates usually required to confirm specific bacteria, providing results in less than 30 minutes instead of days.

VEI can customize its products for a particular bacteria or detection level required. Please contact VEI with any particular requests.
