2002 CSL/JIFSAN Joint Symposium -
Rapid Diagnostic Methods in Food Safety
 CSL
and JIFSAN are holding a third Symposium on Rapid Diagnostic
Methods in Food Safety at Central Science Laboratory, Sand
Hutton, York (UK) on June 26-28th 2002.
Aim
The aim of this meeting will be to examine the current and
prospective technologies for rapid diagnostics testing for
the presence of bacterial pathogens, viruses, GMO's and chemical
residues/contaminants in foods and in biological samples.
Scope
The area of food safety will be covered from the perspective
not only of adventitious contamination but also from intentional
contamination of the food chain. Such screening is of interest
in rapid diagnosis of disease in plant and veterinary medicine
and for detection of bacterial pathogens and chemical residues
in foods. Rapid screening for bacterial pathogens, viruses,
prion proteins, allergenic proteins and chemical residues
such as veterinary drugs will be covered in this symposium.
Current and future technologies will be discussed, in terms
of both potential and best practice and how validation/verification
should be handled to provide the necessary safeguards without
inhibiting innovation in this rapidly advancing area of science.
