Talk Title: Application of Biosensors for Official Controls in the Food Supply Chain

The implementation of biosensors for official controls can significantly enhance traceability, transparency, and accountability within the food supply chain. These tools contribute to a more efficient regulatory system by reducing reliance on manual inspection and enhancing the reliability of compliance checks. Ongoing advancements in nanotechnology and materials science are expected to further improve biosensor performance, expanding their potential applications within food safety and quality assurance. The widespread adoption of biosensors for official controls will ultimately lead to safer food products and greater consumer confidence in the food supply chain.
