What does the EU have to do with food quality and food safety? And what about importing foods from elsewhere, do those have to comply with EU standards? (yes)
We made a video answering these kinds of questions from the internet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RA5JrG3K1QQ&list=TLPQMTAwNTIwMjb6WhV72NfnRg&index=5

@hpod16 Fantastic video! I am familiar with this topic because our team at JRC supports EU control labs in monitoring food, feed and seeds for the presence of GMOs

@emmecola my dad works with food and he kind of told me off for not mentioning the JRC and EFSA.
I think we’re going to have to do a part two about food to make up for it one day -

Also: what kind of research are you on now?
I love food science, I did my first ever tiny work experience in the R&D lab at Kraft, and I did some stuff with microbiology and determining sell-by dates -

Basically, we assess the performance of GMO detection methods, ensuring they have good sensitivity and specificity
I am an IT consultant, I mostly do data analysis and web development -

Wow, there are GMO detection models?
Does that mean you analyse the genome of a given plant/crop? -

Actually, I maintain the GMOMETHODS database, which is a public collection of high-performance methods that labs can use to monitor food/feed entering or circulating in the EU

Holy cow that’s interesting!
Thanks for sharing, really
