3M applies science in collaborative ways to improve lives daily. With $30 billion in sales, 3M’s 90,000 employees connect with customers all around the world. 3M invests about 5.6 per cent of its sales revenue in research and development and is recognised as a global innovator¹, producing more than 3000 patents each year.

3M’s 8,500 scientists around the globe apply science in powerful ways, developing ingenious solutions which improve daily life for millions of people. This is encapsulated in the company’s brand identity, 3M Science. Applied to Life™.

Science is at the heart of everything 3M does, including application of clever technologies which enable food manufacturers to optimise product safety, quality and productivity.

3M’s Food Safety business offers a comprehensive range of food safety solutions: rapid hygiene management and allergen control; indicator testing, advanced pathogen testing; sample handling; end product screening; and supply chain product temperature monitoring.

With today’s increasingly stringent food quality standards, both laboratory testing and hygiene monitoring need to be reliable and consistently accurate for consumer and brand protection.

As a science-based company, 3M is constantly innovating, but recognises that ‘science is just science’ until it’s applied to making a difference to people’s lives. That’s what 3M’s Food Safety team has been doing for over thirty years – keeping consumers safe, improving lab and manufacturing efficiencies for customers and providing them with the highest standards of technical support.
