29th University of Wisconsin – River Falls Symposium

Current Concepts In Foodborne Pathogens and Rapid and Automated Methods in Food Microbiology, October 18-21, 2009

Idaho Technology was proud to participate in this year’s University of Wisconsin River Falls Symposium where speakers from academia, industry and regulatory agencies provided an overview and update on the pathogens, toxins, and contaminants that occur in food, water, and the environment.

The emphasis of the workshop was on the practical applications to solve food microbiological safety and quality problems. In addition, technical representatives from selected companies, such as Idaho Technology, involved in developing and marketing instruments and assays for microbiological analysis of food participated in the program by presenting and demonstrating the latest technologies in food safety.

Topics ranged from approaches to food allergens to consumer attitudes toward food, nutrition, and health and of course food safety trends and risk management. Our own Adam Greer attended and presented on our R.A.P.I.D. ® LT Food Security System and its sensitivity, accuracy and high speed. To learn more about the R.A.P.I.D.

Food Safety Tip of the Week: Always wash fresh fruits and vegetables under cool running tap water before eating. This removes any lingering dirt while also removing or reducing any bacteria or other substances.
