The modern food industry is a rapidly evolving sector with complex supply chains that utilises a wide variety of analytical tools to support food integrity and authenticity.
Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)-based approaches represent an emerging analytical technology that is growing within the food sector, providing the potential to not only screen and test input materials, but also the production process and end products.
This questionnaire is part of a UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) funded project tasked with reviewing the application of NGS technology to food authenticity testing and supporting harmonisation and the development of standards for NGS approaches applicable to the verification of food authenticity. The questionnaire is targeted at individuals involved in the food and associated diagnostics sectors, including technology developers, suppliers and official controls.
Your participation in this questionnaire will directly help inform the direction of the project and contribute to guidance within the sector.
Please do not provide any information that could be used to identify you. Thank you for participating in our questionnaire which should only take around 15 minutes to complete. Your feedback is important.
