LANSING, Mich., Feb. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Neogen Corporation (NASDAQ: NEOG) has continued to report successes with the advancement of its Neogen^® Analytics software program.

The comprehensive Environmental Monitoring Program (EMP) cloud-based software, powered by Corvium, Inc., connects to both the AccuPoint^® Advanced NG and ANSR^® systems, and helps users implement food safety systems that reduce risk and elevate compliance. Customers that digitalize their food safety programs by using Neogen Analytics benefit from real-time visibility into all environmental-monitoring tests, as well as automated reporting and alerts for corrective actions. Additionally, Neogen Analytics is an open platform that aggregates food safety data and provides testing recommendations to customers based on industry best practices.

The service continues to be well-received by customers within the industry, as companies are able to standardize their environmental monitoring programs, improve efficiencies through audits, and utilize existing food safety data. This gives them the ability to quickly respond to adverse events in food production facilities, saving time and money, while also aligning with the Food and Drug Administration's "Smarter Era of Food Safety" blueprint for the utilization of digital technologies to improve food safety. To further accelerate its food safety data analytics strategy, Neogen acquired the technology platform and assets of Corvium, Inc., the Virginia-based provider of the software supporting Neogen Analytics, on February 10, 2023.

"We have seen the success of the Neogen Analytics platform and have enjoyed working with the team at Corvium throughout the development and launch of this software," said John Adent, Neogen's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are pleased to bring their expertise in-house as we continue to drive the growth of this invaluable platform and enhance food safety practices around the world."

Corvium, Inc., launched in 2018 with the mission to use data to make the world a safer place to eat. The company's food risk intelligence platform continuously aggregates and analyzes risk and quality data generated during food production and distribution. Their solutions help food producers and processors prevent pathogenic contamination, comply with federal regulations and internal safety and quality programs, reduce food safety risks and costs, and regulate food waste.
