Problem
Bacterial contamination in food production and animal health poses significant risks to human health, animal well-being, and the environment. Traditional methods of controlling these contaminations, such as antibiotics, contribute to the rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), creating a need for alternative solutions.

UniFAHS offers targeted biocontrol solutions using bacteriophage technology to combat bacterial contamination in the food and animal sectors. Their approach reduces the reliance on antibiotics, addressing the growing concern of antimicrobial resistance. UniFAHS's phage-based products target specific pathogens like Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria, ensuring safer food production from farm to fork. By applying bacteriophage formulations along the food supply chain, UniFAHS minimizes the use of antibiotics and chemical treatments, promoting a sustainable approach to health for animals, people, and the environment. The company also provides customized phage solutions and services, including phage designation, isolation, purification, and amplification.
