Food-borne Pathogens
Access to sufficient amounts of safe and nutritious food is key to sustaining life and good health. Food-borne pathogens may occur at any stage in the process, from food production to consumption and can cause severe illnesses as well as even death to those who consume contaminated food stuffs. These food-borne diseases are a growing public health problem worldwide as they create a vicious cycle of disease and malnutrition, particularly affecting infants, young children, the elderly and the sick.
Analytik Jena offers solutions for the determination of various pathogens that allow you to reliably monitor food products at any stage of the food supply chain.
