About MoniQA

MoniQA (Monitoring and Quality Assurance in the Food Supply Chain) is an EU funded Network of Excellence aiming to make food safer by harmonising worldwide food quality and safety monitoring and control strategies.

• MoniQA focuses on validation of and setting performance criteria/requirements for methods used to analyse foods and food products for safety and quality with the main focus being on rapid methods and their applicability and reliability in routine testing.
• MoniQA seeks to establish long‐lasting cooperation amongst leading research institutes, industrial partners and the small‐and medium‐sized businesses in food and retail in order to ensure food quality and safety for consumers.
• Researchers from around the world have been involved right from the start in 2007 and the network is constantly growing.
• In the long‐term the MoniQA consortium hopes that the project will form the basis of a sustainable global network of food safety and quality experts. The project is coordinated by ICC – International Association for Cereal Science and Technology.
