What do current microbiology methods reveal about microorganism levels in food products?

Increased scrutiny and focus on the safety of our food supply results in increased testing.      

Romer Labs has introduced two new monitoring tools for the detection of eCry3.1Ab protein expressed by Syngenta's Agrisure Duracade insect-resistant corn.

Technological advances in analytical chemistry make it possible to detect chemicals in food matrices at extremely low levels.

 Food safety has been identified as a top priority by AOAC International.  

Aptamer-based methods show promise in the food testing arena. Could their use simplify analysis of foodborne pathogens?

The success of the implementation and completion of a corrective action plan must be verified through follow-up, which may include testing.

Innovative and cutting-edge analytical method approaches are being developed in response to emerging food safety issues.

The food microscopist charged with the laboratory identification of foreign bodies reported from food products will have to use a wide range of techniques in this work.

The principal source of contamination of ready-to-eat (RTE) foods is environmental contamination within the processing facility.
