Researchers from Purdue University have developed a new biosensor-based rapid test that can detect fecal contamination of produce in-field with 90–100 percent accuracy.

A Biosurveillance Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (BISR) system would address two mission-critical requirements for biosurveillance to detect and prevent outbreaks: rapid detection and predictive analysis.

Researchers from Osaka Metropolitan University have achieved simultaneous detection of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus in real-world samples, on-site and within an hour, using a handheld electrochemical device.

A newly developed biosensor measuring hypoxanthine, a compound that is produced during the process of decomposition, is able to accurately and efficiently determine the freshness of meat.

With a $5 million grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), a multidisciplinary research team is developing sensor-based rapid detection technology, backed by an artificial intelligence (AI) –powered decision support system, to control Salmonella and other foodborne pathogens throughout the poultry supply chain.

With each passing year, new and emerging technologies and techniques that have promise for advancing food safety are developed and validated. This article summarizes the top food safety innovations of 2023, based on audience interest. 

This article provides a future-oriented perspective on comprehensive food safety programs that harness multi-layered sensor technology and artificial intelligence (AI). The program described begins with biosurveillance at the producer level and seamlessly extends to the retail food sector.

Scientists have developed a small, easy-to-produce, and cost effective sensor that can detect water adulteration of honey, a commodity that is often the subject of fraudulent food production practices.

The new humidity sensing capabilities added to Wiliot’s Internet of Things (IoT) Visibility Platform makes it possible for food companies to better ensure the safety, integrity, freshness, and sustainability of moisture-sensitive products

A team of scientists is developing a rapid sensor-based decision-making system to assess and mitigate Salmonella contamination across the entire poultry supply chain, with an emphasis on improving health equity by leveraging data to help disproportionately affected communities make informed food safety decisions.
