Projectomschrijving

The goal is to develop detection methods for food borne viruses (NoV, HAV, RV) in water, on contact surfaces and fresh produce. Next these methods will be used in practice, on company level, by means of the execution of a Horticultural Assessment Scheme (HAS). The collected data will contribute to the construction of a base line and a better foundation of the food safety management systems (FSMS).
