New threats make food and beverage manufacturing difficult, expensive, and even dangerous. Success means fulfilling requests with greater speed and efficiency while eliminating harmful contaminants. DuPont solutions, however, can help manufacturers maintain safe, clean facilities and still meet demand. DuPont confronts obstacles like these with a resource that’s guided its processes for over 200 years: Science. DuPont science is behind products like the BAX® detection system and RiboPrinter® microbial characterization system, which determine whether food is free of contamination. The Solae CompanyTM is an alliance between DuPont and Bunge Limited to bring more great tasting, nutritious soy-foods to the marketplace. Packaging of consumer goods is a US$350 billion global business, and DuPont has been a principal supplier and innovator from the start. Today, our portfolio of science-based packaging solutions ranges from films and plastics, to coatings, adhesives and nonwovens. They apply to various markets such as Food and Beverage, Cosmetic and Personal care, Consumer Goods and Industrial. DuPont Science is also in DuPont™ Glypure® and Sontara®, which ensure production areas are clean of harmful waste.
