5-Log Microbial Reduction: How Bioactive Services Ensures Clean, Safe Products

In the nutraceutical and herbal industries, safety begins at the ingredient level. Raw botanicals and powdered ingredients are naturally exposed to bacteria, mold, yeast, and harmful pathogens throughout harvesting, drying, and transportation. To protect consumers and maintain regulatory compliance, manufacturers rely on validated 5-log microbial reduction in the USA.

Bioactive Services specializes in advanced steam sterilization services in the USA, delivering consistent, chemical-free pathogen reduction that ensures clean, safe, and formulation-ready ingredients.

What Is 5-Log Microbial Reduction and Why It Matters

A 5-log reduction means reducing microbial populations by 99.999%. This level of reduction is widely recognized as a critical safety benchmark for nutraceuticals, herbal powders, and food-grade ingredients.

Without proper pathogen reduction in the USA, contaminated ingredients can lead to:

• Product recalls
  
• Failed quality audits
  
• Regulatory non-compliance
