That is a really excellent point, Shabby.

In fact, any institution, whether business, medical, or government, can always use BNP or BNF alongside more traditional accepted methods in order to get an early warning of a pathogen potentially being present. They can still wait for the confirmation from the other tests, but having that early warning could be invaluable. There's not much downside. The chances are low that a false positive ID would be made of a specific organism.

As you state, in the case of a food supplier it could save $millions (and possibly lives) by simply delaying a shipment pending confirmation by traditional methods.

With regard to food testing, I know that Costco tests its meat when it arrives at their stores. I would think other outfits would do the same especially if the test itself took under an hour. I am not sure if their are others retailers that test on their own but seems like this should be a required step also. Who knows how long the meat sits on a truck before being delivered.
"All meat arriving at the Tracy plant comes with a certificate from the supplier pledging that pre-shipment tests showed no E. coli contamination, something other companies are also doing now. But Costco tests it anyway, and if it tests positive, it’s shipped back to the supplier. Less than one percent is shipped back."

I believe such testing at the receiver's facility would reduce the quantity of E-coli tainted meat which reaches the consumer.
