EDITORIALThe Next Chapter in Food Safety and ProcessingFood safety and processing are entering a bold new era, where technology goes beyond detecting pathogens to preventing them. From AI-driven foresight to portable diagnostics and traceable supply chains, innovation is redefining how we produce wine and other food in the modern world.Handheld and paper-based diagnostic devices are enabling on-site detection of pathogens like Salmonella and E. coli in just hours. These ultra-rapid, portable tests dramatically shorten the time from sample to result and empower food producers to act swiftly to avoid contamination risks. Lab-on-a-chip and paper microfluidic devices embedded with biosensors offer low-cost, scalable and real-time pathogen monitoring options, ideal for decentralized environments.AI-driven predictive analytics are being incorporated into pathogen monitoring platforms to analyze historical and real-time data, forecasting contamination hotspots before they occur. By shifting from reactive testing to proactive risk management, these tools help businesses prevent outbreaks and reduce costly recalls.This edition of Food and Beverage Tech Review highlights recent developments in food safety and pathogen detection, the wine production sector and food processing equipment manufacturing. It also offers insights into how organizations can adapt to these disruptive trends to deliver transformative customer experiences. It features thought leadership articles from industry experts, including Riaz Ahamadeen, VP of quality/food safety & regulatory, North America at Oatly Inc., who discusses strategies for overcoming challenges with foodborne pathogens in food manufacturing. Wumi Yusuff, senior director of food safety at Ferrara Candy Company, shares insights into driving enterprise-wide food safety through collaboration and empowerment.It also features Crystal Diagnostics, an ultimate destination for liquid crystal-based pathogen detection. Its novel liquid crystal technology detects live foodborne pathogens, giving laboratories clear, timely results they can trust.We hope this edition, featuring food safety and pathogen detection, wine producers and food processing equipment manufacturers of 2025, helps you build the partnerships your organization needs to sharpen its competitive edge in the food and beverage industry.Let us know your thoughts!Kevin LoboManaging Editoreditor@fbtechreview.comEDITORIAL STAFFsales@fbtechreview.comeditor@fbtechreview.commarketing@fbtechreview.comEmailVISUALIZERSDisclaimer: *Some of the Insights are based on our interviews with CIOs and CXOsMANAGING EDITORKevin LoboFood & Beverage Technology Review Visit www.fbtechreview.comCopyright © 2025 ValleyMedia, Inc.
