Scientific research
In addition to the detection and measurement of substances, Wageningen Food Safety Research also performs high-quality scientific research.
Food fraud and Composition
Is Tuscan olive oil really from Tuscany? And are these organic eggs really organic? These are examples of the type of authenticity and nutrient related questions which Wageningen Food Safety Research deals with on a regular basis.
Effects of substances on humans and animals
Wageningen Food Safety Research studies the possible effects of substances and ingredients in foods to assess whether they are safe.
Safe food production
Safe food production is one of the research themes of Wageningen Food Safety Research (WFSR). That is why we at WFSR focus on the identification, early identification and evaluation of chemical contaminants and pathogenic bacteria and viruses in animal feed chains and food production chains. We also concentrate on preventing and controlling this. These are the main topics we are working on:
Method development
Wageningen Food Safety Research has the best methods to analyse food and feed. Therefore we are constantly working on developing and implementing new techniques and new methods so that we can analyze more and more (undesirable) components in a better, faster and more cost effective way.
