ORLANDO, Feb. 15 /Christian Newswire/ -- Magna Medical has seen no significant increase in orders for home food testing kits due to the recent outbreak report by ConAgra Foods on certain peanut butter brands.

“Certain outbreaks are quick and sudden and others are just slow to come to fruition” says Robert Greene VP and General Manager for Magna Medical Services, Inc. parent company for Foodtestingstrips.com.

This was in stark contrast to the week of Dec 3, 2006 where a surge of online orders to foodtestingstrips.com from the New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York areas prompted Magna Medical to inquire to health officials about a potential outbreak.

Magna Medical introduced their consumer home test kits last year in time for the holiday season. The kit includes an instant E.coli test and an instant salmonella test kit for under $20.00.

Recent outbreaks of Salmonella and E. Coli, caused by industry contamination and improper cooking procedures, have contributed to severe illness among consumers worldwide The products have universal applications because they test on surfaces, in food product (both raw and cooked), and in water.

The MMS Salmonella instant strip can detect 50 of the most common and deadliest strains. The strips are submerged in food samples and, if the organism is present, the strip will change color. The MMS E.Coli instant strip can detect the most common and deadliest strains including E.coli 103 and 0157:H7. Detection time is less than 20 minutes which is the fastest test currently on the market. Lowenkamp Laboratory of Missouri was the independent lab that was contracted to verify the confirmation levels for each product. The product is available for commercial use only.
