Millennium Fellowship Project: Meat Quality Assessment For Safety And Health
My initiative, "Meat Quality Grading and Contamination Identification for Ensuring Food Safety, Sustainability, and Safeguard for Public Health," aims to tackle the pervasive issue of meat spoilage and contamination, a significant challenge for food safety in the meat industry. With approximately 1.3 billion tons of food wasted annually and alarming statistics linking contaminated meat to severe health risks, this project seeks to develop reliable methods for early detection of spoilage and contamination. The primary goals are to enhance consumer safety, reduce food waste, and support producers by optimizing the quality and shelf life of meat products. By ensuring that only safe, high-quality meat reaches. consumers, my initiative will foster public health, protect the environment, and promote economic stability for producers, creating a meaningful social impact in both local and global contexts.
