Pathogen Technology Drives Higher Resolution In Food Safety Testing
2016-01-06 12:10:39| foodingredientsonline Downloads
By Mary Duseau, SVP and Chief Commercial Officer, Roka Bioscience Higher resolution can bring dramatic change in the discovery and understanding of the world around us. One great example is the recent pictures sent back from the New Horizons spacecraft. As recently as five years ago, Pluto was a pixelated gray dot with no definition. In 2006, NASA launched the New Horizons Spaceship knowing that the investment would not pay off for another decade. The recent pictures of Pluto have provided resolution of the atmosphere and landscape never thought possible. This same paradigm can be applied to food safety. With recent advances in sequencing, macro-biome profiling, food identification, and, of course, pathogen technology, the industry has a tremendous resource of tools at its fingertips. A critical tool often ignored for a number of reasons are the advanced options for pathogen detection. Pathogen detection plays a pivotal role in any food safety process. While significant investments can be made in easier-to-sanitize manufacturing equipment, development of preventative control programs, and training/re-training personnel, the effectiveness of these, and other preventative measures, is only as good as the performance of the pathogen test method used to verify. Therefore, the pathogen testing program is the lens by which these programs are monitored. This lens needs to offer a rapid, sensitive, and accurate picture of the environment, process, and product to allow for effective mitigation and an overall improvement in preventative control.

UK carbon footprint from imported food revealed for first time
2016-01-06 01:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Scientist: Not much is growing in the UK - except its carbon footprint. The global impact of feeding the country has been estimated for the first time, revealing that 64 per cent of associated greenhouse gases are emitted abroad. The UK now imports more than half its food and feed. Between 1986 and 2009, the amount of land used to grow the country`s food increased by 23 per cent, with 70 per cent of it located overseas. Soya beans used for animal feed, cocoa and wheat take up the most foreign land, and...
