Food Bites by the ITI Food Girl -- Idaho Technology, Inc.

FDA WORKSHOP MAY 6-8, 2009
JAMAICA, NEW YORK

Idaho Technology recently participated in the Detecting Foodborne Pathogens FDA workshop. Scientists from around the world attended the event which was sponsored by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, AOAC International, York College of the City University of New York, and the Greater Jamaica Development Corporation. The workshop consisted of a series of lectures in the mornings dealing with everything from PCR basics to FDA regulatory issues, and hands-on laboratory sessions in the afternoons. The laboratory sessions allowed participants to try out different high throughput methods for detecting pathogens in food, including our own R.A.P.I.D.® LT Food Security System. Thanks go out to the FDA North East Regional laboratory for hosting the event!
