Secure Food Solutions

Secure Food Solutions, Inc. (SFS) is a food safety technology company founded in 2014 that develops rapid microbial diagnostic platforms and imaging systems to detect and remove pathogens and contaminants from the food supply. The company’s core technical platforms include specialized hyperspectral imaging for the detection of aflatoxin in crops like corn and multi-phase chromogenic media for the rapid detection of pathogens such as Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, and Vibrio species. By providing fast, on-site testing and sorting capabilities that require no pre-enrichment, SFS aims to enhance food safety across farms, mills, and food processing environments.

These innovations are critical for stakeholders seeking to mitigate public health risks and economic losses associated with foodborne illnesses and contaminated grain. The company’s aflatoxin sorter technology, in particular, focuses on social impact by offering an affordable screening tool for small-scale farm households, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, to combat malnutrition and child mortality. Supported by competitive grants from organizations such as the National Science Foundation, Secure Food Solutions engages with the broader food supply chain to turn scientific research into practical, field-deployable solutions that help ensure a safer global food supply.
