BioMérieux Introduces SMARTBIOME™ to Combat Food Spoilage

On February 18, 2026, bioMérieux, a leader in in vitro diagnostics, unveiled SMARTBIOME™, a new solution targeting food spoilage. This system integrates DNA sequencing, bioinformatics, and bioMérieux's microbiological expertise to offer insights for safeguarding product quality and reducing waste.

Food waste, driven largely by microbial spoilage, affects 15–20% of global food production. SMARTBIOME™ enables manufacturers to pinpoint spoilage organisms and trace causes throughout production. This solution aids in preempting future spoilage by monitoring microbiological trends.

Developed with Neoprospecta, acquired in 2025, SMARTBIOME™ positions bioMérieux as a partner in risk management and quality programs for food manufacturers globally, now available in regions including North America, Latin America, and Europe.
