Highlights and News

Food Authenticity & Safety collects the cases that keep coming back to us: species substituted for cheaper ones, ingredients that never appear on the label, and outbreaks whose origin took too long to establish because the record stopped at one link in the chain. Each note summarizes a published finding and then sets out what it means analytically, which marker separates the species involved, and whether the question is better answered by a targeted assay or by sequencing the whole sample. Notes on partnerships, recognition and conferences are collected under Events & Science instead.
