Log10 was founded with a singular mission: to address critical gaps in food safety by leveraging the power of microbiological innovation. Established by a team of scientists and industry experts, the company was born from a shared recognition of the need for more effective, science-based solutions to mitigate microbial contamination, extend shelf life, and enhance food quality. This information explores the origins of Log10, the inventive processes behind its services, and the driving purpose that underpins its work.
Identifying the Need
The founders of Log10 observed persistent challenges in the food production industry, including recurring issues with pathogen outbreaks, ineffective sanitation management, and significant economic losses due to product recalls. Despite advancements in food safety protocols, many conventional methods failed to provide comprehensive and sustainable solutions. This observation led to the conception of Log10 as a platform for developing and delivering innovative pathogen remediation products, microbial services and food safety consultation.
The Invention of Log10’s Services
We are a biotechnology-driven food safety company headquartered in Ponca City, Oklahoma, specializing in microbiological solutions that protect the global food supply.
Founded in 2013 by microbiologist Dr. Siobhan Reilly, Log10® began with a mission to combat foodborne pathogens through innovative probiotic science. Our early focus on Salmonella reduction in pet food has since expanded to include tailored solutions targeting Listeria, E. coli O157:H7, and other common contaminants across the food, pet food, animal feed, and agricultural industries.
Today, we operate as a full-service food safety partner, offering:
Our probiotics function through natural mechanisms such as competitive exclusion, nutrient competition, and the production of antimicrobial metabolites like organic acids and bacteriocins. With a science-first approach and a commitment to clean-label innovation, we help our clients reduce risk, extend shelf life, and meet the growing demand for safer, more natural foods.
At Log10®, our scientists, food safety experts, and technical teams work hand-in-hand with clients to develop tailored solutions for real-world challenges. Whether you're bringing a new product to market or strengthening your food safety systems, we are here to help you succeed—safely, sustainably, and scientifically. Log10 is also FSMA Compliant, certified by U.S. Water Testing Labs to ensure our processes meet rigorous federal food safety standards.
Founding Purpose
Log10’s inception was driven by a commitment to safeguarding public health and empowering food producers to deliver safer, higher-quality products. The company was founded on three core principles:
Early Success and Impact
