Next Generation Sequencing is Transforming Food Safety Management System

With an increasing demand on more safe food, advanced genomics is more applicable than ever in all food safety. Advances in next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies enable high-throughput data generation that can be used to revolutionize food safety with higher accuracy and precision. The sequences generated from such techniques can also be used for rapid identification of pathogens and spoilage organisms. In addition, retailers and regulators can also take advantage of big data that enable to assess and mitigate any risk. Using big data generated by NGS, has expanded predictive microbiology applications far beyond their historical boundaries and helps food safety system to control any potential outbreaks much quicker. Utilizing NGS provides food industry a tool to have very determined decision-making process and high robust food safety management system.
