Simplifying Listeria Testing with 24-Hour Ready-to-Use Media
Controlling Listeria monocytogenes remains a critical priority for food manufacturers. Even low-level contamination can lead to serious health risks, recalls, and brand damage.
Regulatory expectations from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration emphasize routine environmental monitoring and rapid detection—making efficient, reliable testing more important than ever.
Traditional agar methods can be time-consuming and labor-intensive. That’s where Easy Plate™ LS offers a smarter approach.
🔬 Why Easy Plate™ LS?
✔ Ready-to-use—no media prep or sterilization
✔ Clear blue colonies for easy identification
✔ Reliable results in 24 ± 1 hours
✔ Compact design (~1/20 the size of petri dishes) to maximize incubator space
✔ Simplified workflow to reduce labor and variability
Designed for food safety and microbiology labs, Easy Plate™ LS helps streamline Listeria testing while maintaining performance comparable to traditional methods.

📄 New Case Study Available
How can cleanliness be measured—not just assumed?
During the 2021–2024 COVID-19 ELC Grant Program, ATP monitoring using the Kikkoman A3 system was implemented across 56 New York State County Jails and 5 Specialized Secure Detention facilities to objectively verify cleaning effectiveness.
The results helped facilities identify high-risk surfaces, strengthen sanitation practices, and track measurable improvements over time.
This case study highlights how ATP-based hygiene monitoring can support data-driven sanitation management and operational accountability.

Reducing Hidden Risks in Food Manufacturing: Using ATP Testing to Strengthen Allergen Control
Allergen cross-contact remains one of the most persistent risks in food manufacturing. Even after cleaning, invisible residues can remain — and a single failure can lead to costly recalls and long-term brand damage.
Join our upcoming technical webinar to explore how ATP testing can strengthen your allergen control program and improve surface hygiene monitoring.

🔬 This session will cover:
✔ Why allergen cross-contact occurs even after cleaning
✔ What ATP testing can — and cannot — tell you about allergen risk
✔ Cleaning validation vs. verification
✔ How ATP+ADP+AMP total adenylate testing (Kikkoman A3) enhances detection sensitivity
✔ Key differences between conventional ATP-only systems and the Kikkoman A3
✔ Practical guidance on setting, verifying, and revalidating ATP pass/fail limits
✔ Best practices for integrating ATP testing into an allergen management program

One of the most common challenges in ATP monitoring is establishing appropriate limits. We’ll discuss real-world approaches used in food manufacturing facilities to set meaningful benchmarks and maintain control.

📅 Date: April 15, 2026
⏱ Duration: 60 minutes
