Food testing labs today are looking to informatics solutions that can manage workflows and data associated with advances in areas including DNA-based and rapid testing methods. Food safety demands for a global population Recognized and emerging threats to our food supply come in many forms, including pathogenic microorganisms, and contamination by natural and man-made environmental chemicals and pollutants. These can all present significant challenges to ensuring safe, sustainable food production globally. Factors such as climate change, a growing world population and globalization of the food industry are putting additional pressures on global food security and nutrition. In parallel, the emergence and uptake of genetically engineered crops, new types of lab grown and recombinant foods and cell-based production processes are driving the need for advanced forms of testing and the ability to meet changing regulatory instruction.1 Food crises are increasing around the world leaving consumers with great concern which often leads to a lack of trust in food and beverage output. For farmers, producers, manufacturers and distributors, keeping pace with the demand for greater transparency and risk reduction means ensuring full traceability, from farm to fork. 1. https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/food-safety Helping enable healthier and safer communities Advancing your food safety testing lab Meeting your food safety testing lab needs Ensuring success in your food safety testing lab Next steps © Clinisys Company confidential | Strictly not for distribution 4 The impact of unsafe food Transforming the laboratory “Food safety, nutrition and food security are inextricably linked,” according to WHO, which states, “Access to sufficient amounts of safe and nutritious food is key to sustaining life and promoting good health.” As the agency notes, “ensuring food safety and supporting strong food systems requires collaboration between governments, producers and consumers.”2 The global impact of unsafe food 2. https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/food-safety 3.
