Question 2

How does the FoodExpert- ID identify macroorganisms and why is this significant?

Accepted Answer

The FoodExpert- ID is a specialized microarray chip with assorted nucleotide sequences unique to individual organisms. This chip can be used to assess whether or not particular microorganisms are present and to what extent they are present in a particular food product. This can be applied to ensure a food product lacks potentially cheaper meats acting as filler ingredients. Ultimately the FoodExpert- ID is meant to instill more confidence in the wholesomeness of food products for consumers.
