Hollison Technologies Increases Capabilities For Food Safety

Owensboro, KY - (Marketwire) - Hollison Technologies, provider of products and services to the food industry to detect and track contaminants in the food supply chain, today announced that it has increased its capabilities to include finished food products as well as surfaces.

As a natural extension to collecting, detecting and tracking microbiological contamination in commodities such as grain, wheat, pepper, rice and other dry goods, Hollison's capabilities now extend to finished food products such as cereals, dry pet food and powders.

"In addition Hollison has technology and capabilities for sampling and detecting bacteria in liquids as well as on surfaces," said Anthony D. Bashall, Hollison's EVP of Technology and Corporate Development. "Liquids may include beverages, sauces and even peanut butter. We are developing, using the same technology, systems which can be applied to extract microbiological contamination on the surfaces of solid foods such as fruits, vegetables, meat, poultry and even eggs. This extraction technology can be applied to ensuring the surfaces of food processing equipment are also contamination free."

Hollison's goal is to "Manage Contamination not Recalls™" as we view any recall as a potential failure in the food safety system.

Employing Hollison's Patent Pending technology and process the objective is to detect contamination before the commodity or food product enters the food supply chain. To that end, Hollison supplies a complete system of integrated components for collection, detection / identification and tracking of chemical, biological or radiological contaminants.
