I am writing a review article related to bacteriophages and I need to know about the stages of research of SalmoLyse, PLSV-1, and INT-401 bacteriophages.
Furthermore, a US company has developed and licensed bacteriophage-based animal healthcare products effective against Salmonella (PLSV-1™) and Clostridium perfringens (INT-401™) in poultry, aimed at both prophylaxis and treatment.

Are there any bacteriophages that can be applied to food?
Thus, phage preparations against Listeria monocytogenes (Listshield™), Salmonella enterica (SalmoFresh™), and Escherichia coli (Ecoshield™) have received GRAS designation by the FDA for direct application to food and are commercially available.

Can a bacteriophage be used to remove monocytogenes?
In the EU, on the other hand, the use of bacteriophages in food from animal origin was evaluated by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in 2009. More recently, the use of PhageGuard Listex for removing L. monocytogenes from raw fish was assessed in 2012.

How are bacteriophages used to treat bacterial infections?
Among the many antimicrobials suggested to replace or complement traditional antibiotics, bacteriophages and phage-derived proteins (collectively known as phage therapy) are strong candidates for the treatment of human bacterial infections, rescuing the idea from previous work made in Eastern Europe ( Sulakvelidze and Morris, 2001 ).

Thank you, but please read this paper for a better answer.
(FDA does not “approve” any products, phage-based or otherwise; however, the term “approval” is commonly used to indicate obtaining FDA clearance to use products for their intended applications).
