- Abstract:
- ... The European Rapid Alert System (RASFF) is a key tool for food safety used by EU member states for swift exchange about serious health risks due to food, feed and food contact materials. Until now, a detailed analysis of submitted notifications concerning food contact materials over a longer time period was not available. Therefore, an examination on alert notifications concerning food contact mat ...

- Abstract:
- ... The occurrence of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in 68 brands of teas, bought in Poland, was surveyed using ultrasonic extraction of dried teas and liquid–liquid extraction of infusions. The extracts were cleaned by solid phase extraction. The instrumental analysis was performed using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC–MS). The total content of 16 PAHs (∑16PAHs) rang ...

- ... In recent years, food safety and environmental concerns became a significant issue, especially in developing countries. Pesticides have been applied broadly in agriculture to enhance the production and quality of the agricultural products and in order to decrease the energy cost. Pesticides are non-biodegradable chemical compounds and commonly used in agriculture for pest control and to increase y ...

- Abstract:
- ... Linking derivation of potential target values of PCDD/Fs in animal feed with risk assessment for consumer protection is a challenge when tolerable weekly intake (TWI) and transfer factors from feed to food are considered. Generally, maximum values for feed and food are set separately without considering the feed and the food producing animal as an important factor along the food chain from farm to ...

Recently, the near-infrared spectroscopy has been used as a non-destructive method in combination with multivariate analysis methods to evaluate the quality of foods. Spices are very useful in our daily lives. They improve the flavor, ...

Within 2 months, two water sources in a karst area in Switzerland were sampled 9 times each, and analyzed by real-time PCR for 6 EHEC O-types, Shiga-like-toxin (stx1 and stx2) and intimin (eae) genes. With the exception of O111, 5 O-types were recorded regularly and at high frequencies (O26: 33.3 %; O157: 33.3 %; O104: 66.6 %; O103: 72.2 %; O145: 94.4 %).

Consequently, they demand to be informed of the processes involved along the food supply chain. Employing a traceability system, tracing food from ‘farm to fork’, has been embraced by the food industries and governments as an important tool to restore and increase c ...

The spread of non-native species in the Mediterranean Sea, due to Lessepsian migration and tropicalization, as well as the use of “non-selective” fishing practices, causes frequently the capture of uncommon and abyssal species, that can be sold in seafood market. This could represent a risk for food safety, since some of these species are not listed in the European Union (EU) regulations for human ...

- Abstract:
- ... The current draft of Regulation (EC) 852/2004 promotes a food safety culture as a general principle. The various stakeholders evaluate this planned new development quite differently. While this is very welcome from a scientific point of view, there are still considerable objections from stakeholders of the area for implementation and monitoring. The challenge is how to integrate the principles int ...

- Abstract:
- ... Mass spectrometric methods have a great potential to determine proteins in food. The combination of liquid chromatography and mass spectrometric fragmentation techniques can be used to determine a variety of proteins simultaneously in food, for both verification of authenticity or allergen detection. Method standardization is the key for the application of such technology in quality-assured routin ...

- Abstract:
- ... In some countries, potassium permanganate is illegally added to meat to improve the colour and mask the smell of spoiled meat. In this study, we developed a method for rapidly detecting and quantifying potassium permanganate in beef, horse, lamb and pork meats. First, the surface of meat was treated with 0.2% ethanolic benzidine. In meat containing potassium permanganate, the spots treated with et ...

- Abstract:
- ... The area of food and feed analysis has been benefiting from related disciplines by using modern analytical techniques. However, corresponding standardization concepts are not yet available for the routine application of these methods. In order to meet the requirements of the official authorities responsible for food monitoring, it is requested to validate and to transfer these methods to the “Offi ...
