Q. How will biosensor technology be used to make our food supply safer?

A. Biosensor technology is used for the rapid detection of pathogens in our food supply. Since food pathogens can be a serious threat to public health, much research is being completed to reduce the risk of foodborne illness.

Biosensor research projects conducted by the USDA and other Federal agencies can be viewed at the FSRIO Research Projects Database.
