How safe is the food we eat? While many have been stumped by this question, the EU-funded MONIQA ('Monitoring and quality assurance in the total food supply chain') project has responded with the development of reliable tools and methods to assess the foods we consume. The project, backed with over EUR 12 million under the 'Food quality and safety' Thematic area of the EU's Sixth Framework Programme (FP6), offers a database of food quality and safety issues, as well as analytical tools for food production and the supply chain.
