Ardent Mills SafeGuard™ Treatment & Delivery System

Flour is a raw ingredient, and its use in ready-to-eat applications needs to be a part of today’s discussions in bakery and food manufacturing. Just as there’s consideration given to the best sourcing practices, pricing and sustainability, make sure that food safety is part of your flour selection process.  

To help keep your customers safe from pathogen related food safety risks, Ardent Mills SafeGuard™ Treatment uses advanced heat treatment technology for up to a five-log validated pathogen reduction process that helps manufacturers treat traditional wheat flour, alternative grains, flour, pulses, seeds and flakes. Our advanced heat treatment technology has been in commercial use for well over a decade, helping manufacturers ensure that products ranging from cookie dough and cold-pressed bars to appetizers and bakery mixes are ready to eat. 

Nearly 3 in 4 U.S. consumers reports a level of concern around the safety of the food they buy/eat. However, a survey shows that nearly half of consumers believe flour is safe to eat before cooking.

It’s time to talk about flour safety, and how to ensure your products deliver what consumers want.
