THE Summit

A friend of mine recently suggested that we should start working on an iPhone application, one that would allow your phone to measure Salmonella in foods before you eat. Wouldn’t that be great?!!

While we're not there yet, I was definitely in awe at all of the food safety solutions available at the Food Safety Summit this week, held in Washington, DC. The United States capital is home to many US regulatory agencies, and the Food Safety Summit focused on protecting our food supply through preparation, response and resolution. With industry leading scientists and solutions, this show dived into real world applications that affect us all. Idaho Technology was honored to take part in displaying our part of the solution—the R.A.P.I.D.® LT Food Security System—which detects food borne pathogens in less than an hour. We also continued our EAT theme showcasing our product as Easy, Accurate, and Timely.

I’d like to give a special thanks to our lead scientist for Food Security, Kelly Winterberg Ph.D., who presented on our rapid solution for detecting E. coli O157:H7.

Now that I’m home from my tradeshow tour, I’ll start tackling other hot industry topics next week. Happy Friday!!
