Food Safety Technologies FY 2004

The Food Safety and Inspection Service funded Cooperative Agreements in Fiscal Year 2004 to identify technologies feasible for small and very small plants and to foster their adoption to enhance the beneficial effects of new technology on food safety and public health.

Validated Technologies Suitable for Small and Very Small Plants

The table below lists completed studies on new technology.
