ENVIRO-KIT™ LISTERIA

LAUNCHING SOON

ENVIRO-KIT™ LISTERIA is a rapid surface sampling and liquid detection system for Listeria monocytogenes. Designed in line with updated EU and UK Ready-to-Eat (RTE) food legislation, it helps food manufacturers, processors, and caterers safeguard against contamination and protect consumers.

The system combines pre-moistened STERISWAB™ surface swabs with liquid, colour-change detection vials. After sampling, swabs are placed into the vial and incubated at 37°C. A clear colour change from straw to black within 24–48 hours indicates the presence of Listeria monocytogenes.

This method ensures consistent, reliable results while avoiding culture growth at the point of collection. Samples can also be transferred directly to a laboratory for confirmation and PCR analysis. For accurate, repeatable sampling, ENVIRO-KIT™ LISTERIA can be used with a 100 cm² template supplied in a convenient easy open bag format.

By combining simple collection with accurate detection, ENVIRO-KIT™ LISTERIA gives food businesses confidence in meeting RTE food safety regulations.

ENVIRO-KIT™ LISTERIA includes 2 packages: 

50 x Listeria Chromogenic Vials

50 x Premoistened Blue Swab with 45mm Breakpoint in a Labelled Tube

Please note: Only the tubed swab enters the sampling area to minimise contamination risk – the medium remains in the lab, keeping both the testing site and the medium sterile and secure.

Recommended Applications
  • Environmental monitoring of food preparation areas
  • Designed for facilities producing Ready-to-Eat (RTE) foods
Features & Benefits
  • Rapid detection of Listeria monocytogenes (results in 24–48 hours), enables faster decision-making to release uncontaminated stock.
  • Incubation at 37°C , the human body temperature, ensures detection of Listeria monocytogenes strains that are pathogenic to humans, giving a true indication of contamination.
  • Colour-change system for easy interpretation (straw → black), provides clear, visual confirmation of a positive result without the need for specialist/costly equipment.
  • Pre-moistened swab maximises recovery from dry surfaces, improving accuracy and consistency of results.
  • Supports compliance with EU/UK RTE food legislation. Designed in line with updated hygiene monitoring standards, helping food producers demonstrate regulatory compliance.
