An outbreak of botulism poisoning among infants who were fed ByHeart formula has increased to 15 babies across 12 states.

More than 40 people have been sickened across Australia after eating alfalfa sprouts.

The Salmonella outbreak includes at least 44 people nationwide, including 18 in New South Wales, 15 in Queensland, nine in Victoria, and two in South Australia.

You follow strict food safety protocols from cooking through packaging. Your team monitors every step. Yet research confirms that even with rigorous controls in place, contamination risk persists throughout the entire production process. Equipment surfaces, washing water, and cross-contact during handling create exposure points where Listeria monocytogenes can enter. The pathogen has driven 7,844 recalls over the past 20 years, with 75% tracing back to processing environment challenges.

Inneo provides an additional layer of protection throughout your operation. This FDA GRAS bacteriocin works as a processing aid that targets Listeria on contact without appearing on your ingredient list. Add it to soaking baths, spray it on products before packaging, or work it into your recipe. Testing shows immediate effectiveness across proteins from cold-smoked salmon to chicken strips, with no impact on pH, taste, color, or smell.

When 55% of consumers switch brands after a recall and 21% never return, adding protection that maintains your clean label supports both food safety and business continuity.

A new Senate bill aims to close the long-criticized “GRAS loophole” that allows food companies to self-certify ingredient safety without FDA review. But while supporters say the Better Food Disclosure Act would boost transparency, critics warn it could backfire — working “like a lobster trap” that locks in unsafe chemicals.
