 HACCP

 Sampling

 Use and validation of rapid methods (DNA-based methods, ELISA-based methods, spectroscopy-based methods, advanced technologies)

 Availability and use of Reference Materials

 Shelf life and storage of food products

 Traceability of food products and components

 Food safety issues (biotoxins, food allergens, microbiological contaminants, banned and toxic ingredients, animal feed residues, plant production residues, industrial residues)

 Food quality issues (authenticity of raw materials and food products, indicators for processing and storage history, shelf life quality indicators, packaging/contact materials,

chemical indicators)

 Social and legal aspects, economical impact
