Announcement of Requirements and Registration for the 2014 Food and Drug Administration Food Safety Challenge

Résumé

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the 2014 FDA Food Safety Challenge, a prize competition under the America COMPETES Reauthorization Act of 2010. The 2014 FDA Food Safety Challenge is an effort to advance breakthroughs in foodborne pathogen detection, specifically with the goal of accelerating the detection of Salmonella in fresh produce. As FDA's food safety program incorporates preventive control measures through the implementation of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act, quicker detection of these harmful bacteria will help to prevent foodborne illnesses.
