The disclosure provides phage-based methods, compositions and uses which may be applied to the prevention, management and/or control of microorganisms that cause damage, disease, spoilage and/or or loss of food, including vegetable, fruit and other fresh produce. The disclosure exploits bacteriophage (or phage) as a means to inactivate, kill or destroy microorganisms present on food and which are associated with, for example, disease, damage and spoilage (rotting).

The invention relates to the field of microbiology, specifically to an antimicrobial composition comprising a first and a second bacteriophage, wherein the composition has lytic activity against E. coli O157. The invention further relates to a use of the antimicrobial composition for controlling bacterial contamination in a food- or feed environment on or in food- or feed processing equipment or food- or feed containers or in a food- or feed product.
