VAM-S is an effective, natural and environmentally-friendly bacteriophage solution that reduces various strains of salmonella commonly found on a wide range of food products. It also preserves the organoleptic properties, nutritional attributes and beneficial bacteria found within different food products. VAM-S is intended for use on poultry, red meat, eggs, fruits, vegetables, fish, and shellfish.
VAM-S Overview
A bacteriophage (phage) is a non-living organism that specifically targets and eliminates a specific pathogen of concern. Phages do not recognize or pose a threat to human or animal cells, meaning they can be used to safely and effectively control and eliminate pathogen outbreaks in food processing facilities and offer a number of benefits over conventional methods including antibiotics, ionizing radiation and peracetic acid.

Phages are the most ubiquitous organisms on the planet and can be found everywhere. They only attack specific bacteria and do not recognize or pose a threat to human or animal cells.
00 VAM-S is non-corrosive to industrial equipment & surfaces.
Unlike many conventional techniques used to deal with pathogen outbreaks, phages do not damage your facility's equipment and surfaces.
00 VAM-S does not affect sensory or nutritional attributes of foods.
Conventional techniques to fight pathogens negatively affect the texture and overall look of consumer foods, while also depleting important nutrients.
00 VAM-S preserves beneficial bacteria found in foods.
Beneficial bacteria, like probiotics, help humans digest food and absorb vital nutrients. Unlike conventional techniques, phages preserve these essential bacteria.
