Objectivos

• Hacer un diagnóstico de los riesgos alimentarios prevalentes en la región transfronteriza de Galicia-Norte de Portugal. Evaluar el impacto potencial de la oferta de nuevas herramientas analíticas en la prevención de accidentes alimentarios.

• Promover la colaboración entre los diferentes actores de la cadena agroalimentaria mediante el establecimiento de una red multidisciplinaria transfronteriza, capaz de promover una mayor competitividad y proyección internacional.

• Desarrollar nuevos sensores analíticos para detectar algunos de los principales problemas en términos de seguridad alimentaria, a saber, los hidrocarburos aromáticos policíclicos (HAP), las biopelículas bacterianas, los alérgenos, las micotoxinas y las microalgas tóxicas, capaces de suplir las deficiencias del sector agroalimentario. Los nuevos sensores deben caracterizarse por altos niveles de velocidad, sensibilidad y especificidad, la posibilidad de miniaturización y automatización y la capacidad de proporcionar resultados en tiempo real.

• Llevar a cabo una demostración in situ de las herramientas analíticas desarrolladas en los diferentes sectores de la cadena de valor agroalimentaria, a fin de evaluar su eficacia y promover las "mejoras" que puedan resultar necesarias.
