Fighting for food safety: A guide to maximizing agricultural and food safety testing

Food or waterborne pathogens are responsible for the illness and even death of millions of people around the world. The efficiency of sample processing, testing, analyst skill, and reference materials all play a role in producing accurate results to ensure the safety and fitness of the world’s food and water supplies. Most countries have regulations and limits in place to ensure the safety of food and water for human consumption.

In this webinar, we look at the impact of sample processing and testing on the true determination of food safety. We will examine the best practices for sample handling and guide attendees through the pitfalls which can detrimentally affect sample result accuracy.

Key learning objectives

• Understand the impact of sample processing on effective food safety testing
• Recognize sources of error or contamination during sample processing which can alter results
• Understand how process, method, and reference material considerations change sample processing outcomes
