Do you need to
control or destroy
PhageGuard Listex
after use?
When PhageGuard Listex was
first introduced into NZ, it was
determined by the Environmental
Protection Authority as a New
Organism. This meant that
manufacturers were required to
shown that they destroyed the
PhageGuard Listex after use.
Hawkins Watts and PhageGuard
have worked alongside the EPA to
get the controls removed.
Since 15 September 2019 the
controls have been lifted and
PhageGuard Listex has been
deemed as a not new Organism.
Manufacturers are now free to use
this product without any controls.
One of our friendly team members
at Hawkins Watts will gladly
walk you through how to best
use PhageGuard Listex on your
product or in your factory.
