NOVEL FOOD PROCESSING: THE STARTEC PROJECT

2012-2016

STARTEC was a three year, EC-funded project which started in February 2012, to develop tools that providers of convenient and ready-to-eat (RTE) products can use in their risk assessment and decision support in daily business, in negotiations with suppliers and customers, and for in-house product and process development. These tools will make it possible for food providers to be innovative without compromising food safety and quality. The tools will also be used for food authorities, policy makers, researchers, risk managers and other personnel working with convenient and RTE foods. 

Dr. Taran Skjerdal from the Norwegian Veterinary Institute (Oslo) was the Coordinator.
