Immunoassays in meat inspection: uses and criteria
1990
Berkowitz, D.B.
The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is developing criteria for the use of immunoassays in the meat and poultry inspection program. Immunoassays and other new analytical technologies present new options for the operation of the inspection system. Testing that once required shipping samples to laboratories and expensive laboratory procedures can now be done in processing plants or on farms. Tests for the detection of drugs or pesticide residues for animal diseases transmissible to man, or for pathogenic bacteria are all of interest to FSIS. FSIS is eager to use commercially available testing systems. Because the test results have implications for human health, FSIS is developing criteria to be certain that the tests perform adequately and are used in conjunction with quality control and quality assurance programs.
