New E. coli test
Don't ask me what a mosquito sized biosensor is, but this story indicates scientists have developed such a device and it could prove useful.
From UPI:
U.S. scientists say they have developed a mosquito-sized biosensor that can rapidly detect tiny amounts of disease-causing E. coli bacteria in food.
The single-step technology developed by Drexel University researchers takes only minutes, compared with hours required by conventional tests for common food poisoning agents.
TK: Whether mandatory GAPs or GHPs, fail safe E. coli testing, or a kill step like irradiation, we are bound to have safer food.
Labels: E. coli, FDA, irradiation
