Description<\/h5>\n
\n

Milk, Honey and Eggs are raw materials for the production of a large number of foods that represent the excellence of the Italian food industry.<\/p>\n

Food business operators - FBOs are obliged to ensure that all the stages of production, processing and distribution of food under their control meet the mandatory hygiene requirements (Regulations (EC) 852, 853, 854, 882 \/ 2004 and Directive 2002\/99) and they are obliged to verify the compliance of residues of veterinary and contaminating medicinal products with the residual maximum limits established by the community regulations (EU Regulation No. 37\/2010 of the Commission of 22 December 2009).<\/p>\n

Currently, the technology does not allow FBOs to perform in-field analyzes in real-time with sufficient performance to ensure compliance with product regulations.<\/p>\n

The project aims to initiate a significant improvement of the control and self-control systems through the development of rapid, multi-residual diagnostic systems, applicable in the field, which allow the simultaneous identification of harmful residues, guaranteeing early identification and therefore the elimination from the production chains of contaminated raw materials, which can represent a risk for consumer safety.<\/p>\n

The project, which is part of a logic of building a food safety platform, aims to monitor the raw materials entering the production process by protecting the traceability of the supply chain, including through experimentation with Blockchain technology in the Food field, public health and the promotion of excellence products, also contributing to a reduction in the use of antibiotics in animal husbandry.<\/p>\n
