Mandy Gardner

As an early career Scientist at AgResearch, my current focus in the Food Systems Integrity team, is pioneering methods to mitigate bacteria and viruses on food, surface and air using cutting-edge far-UVC and blue LED light and cold plasma technology. Our team's dedication to advancing antimicrobial packaging and extending shelf life for vacuum-packed meat underscores our commitment to food safety and quality. I am also the technical editor for the Meat Industry Microbiology Manual.
