Yarok Microbio company profile

Yarok Microbio has developed a breakthrough new technology for fast detection of dangerous microbes (E.coli, Listeria, Salmonella, Yeasts & Molds etc.) for Agriculture and the entire Food Supply Chain. Results in 45 minutes instead of days, as with current testing systems. Addressed problem: Current microbiological tests are too slow, taking days, to answer the needs and requirements of the AgriFood industry. Product: Kits with proprietary reagents and software, used with a small set of off-the-shelf lab tools. Advantages offered for the Food Industry: Fast Testing results before production and product release, to avoid product recalls, lawsuits, loss of business and protect the consumer's health. Advantages offered for Agriculture: Accurate extremely early detection of Plant Pathogens, for early adoption of phytosanitary measures, to avoid or reduce losses of spoiled high-value products and for reduction of the use of pesticides. Yarok R&D laboratory is located in Jerusalem, Israel. A demonstration lab is also operative in Milan, Italy, aimed at marketing and support the new technology in Europe. In May 2017 Yarok received from UNIDO -United Nations Industrial Development Organization- the 2017 Innovation Award for Innovative Ideas and Technologies in Agribusiness. IFT Next (Institute of Food Technologists) has selected Yarok as one of the 2019 Top Five Disruptors in the FT sector.
