Karlsruhe CVUA: Pioneer in food analysis and animal disease protection
The progressive analysis of food and animal health focuses on the latest developments in Baden-Württemberg. The chemical and veterinary examination office (CVUA) Karlsruhe has a central role in both food safety and the diagnosis of animal diseases.
protection of the animal stocks and the consumer
The effects of analysis in CVUA Karlsruhe should not be underestimated. During his visit, Minister Peter Hauk emphasized that the employees analyze more than 12,000 samples from official food surveillance annually. Particular attention is paid to cosmetic products, additives and vegetable food. The early detection of pathogens in animals is crucial to combat high -containing and economically relevant animal diseases such as the African swine plague (ASP).
Current threats from the African swine plague
Only last week, a wild boar was positively tested in the Rhein-Neckar district for ASP, which increases the need for action. To contain the plague, it is important to carry out the examination of potentially infected animals quickly and efficiently. The CVUA Karlsruhe has positioned itself well here thanks to its many years of experience with serological and molecular biological methods. The minister emphasized that preventive measures and a quick reaction are essential in the case of the epidemic.
innovations in food safety
Another important point in the long -term security strategy of the CVUA is the combating of microplastics in food. This growing problem is caused by the decay of plastics in the environment. In order to better understand the stress, the CVUA conducts a research project supported by the state to develop new analysis methods. The aim is to precisely determine the content and the type of microplastics in food.
With state -of -the -art technologies, the CVUA Karlsruhe can not only demonstrate dangerous residues, but also undesirable contaminants, such as forbidden plasticizers in sunscreens. This expertise not only contributes to the protection of consumers, but also to clarify the risks of plastic contamination.a critical role in health consumer protection
The chemical and veterinary examination office in Karlsruhe has become a leading institute in food analysis through the introduction of innovative processes and technologies. Hauk described the facilities as "central pillars of health consumer protection" and illustrated the importance of their work in the current global discussion about nutritional safety and environmental protection.
In summary, it can be said that the continuous efforts of the CVUA Karlsruhe are significant for promoting innovation in the field of analysis and ensuring the health of food and animals. Effective cooperation with animal health services and the focus on the latest technologies strengthen the position of Baden-Württemberg as a pioneer in health consumer protection and create a basis for a healthy future.
