Yarok has developed a technology and a fast testing system for the food industry that is able to provide results in 45 minutes as opposed to the long hours or days required by current testing methods. By testing raw materials, or the finished product, the system indicates either product conformity, or the presence of dangerous bacteria (e.g., E.coli, Listeria, Salmonella, etc.), for decision-making support on allowing or preventing delivery of fresh products to Points of Sale. Yarok’s system is already implemented in Israel and Italy.
