Food safety lab to open in York

摘要

The UK is to open its first food safety training laboratory in York later this year, which aims to improve detection of contaminated food and make global food supplies safer. The laboratory will be a joint venture between the York-based Food and Environment Research Agency (Fera) and Waters Corporation and will feature cutting-edge technology and training to help governments and industry better detect harmful foodbome contaminants like E. coli, and Salmonella. The lab will also test for pesticide residue in important fresh fruit and vegetables.
