Enhancing food safety with SPR biosensors

Food safety refers to measures and practices taken to ensure that food is free from harmful contaminants and pathogens, making it safe for human consumption. This includes everything from food production, processing, packaging, and storage to the handling and preparation of food by consumers. The goal of food safety is to identify and control potential hazards such as bacteria, viruses, chemicals, and physical hazards at every stage of the food supply chain to minimize the risk of foodborne illness and protect public health.
