Announcing the Launch of Food Safety Technologies and Rapid Diagnostics (FSTRD)

2026-01-05

We are proud to introduce Food Safety Technologies and Rapid Diagnostics (FSTRD), a new, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing innovative technologies that address pressing challenges in global food safety.

FSTRD is founded on the principle that rapid, accurate, and field-deployable diagnostics are essential to ensuring safe food supplies worldwide. While publication activity in this area is high, there has been a lack of a dedicated, technology-focused venue—a gap that FSTRD now fills.

Our Core Identity:

  • Technology-Centered Focus: We prioritize next-generation tools and methods for detecting, quantifying, and preventing food safety hazards throughout the supply chain.
  • Interdisciplinary Excellence: The journal bridges engineering, biotechnology, analytical chemistry, and regulatory science, fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration and innovation.
  • From Lab to Field: We emphasize practical, scalable solutions—from portable devices and biosensors to AI-driven forecasting and digital monitoring systems—that meet real-world needs.

Scope Includes:

  • Rapid detection systems for pathogens, toxins, allergens and chemical contaminants.
  • Biosensors, nanosensors, microfluidic platforms and point of care diagnostic devices for food safety.
  • Analytical chemistry applications including LC MS, NMR and hyperspectral imaging for authentication and adulteration detection.
  • Predictive microbiology, risk modelling and AI based contamination forecasting.
  • Food traceability systems, verification technologies and anti fraud approaches.
  • Decontamination technologies, innovative food safety engineering and hygienic equipment design.
  • Validation studies, regulatory evaluation and deployment of portable diagnostic platforms.
  • Integrated sensor systems, data analytics and digital monitoring solutions for food safety.

 

Why Submit to FSTRD?
FSTRD offers a unique venue for researchers and industry professionals to share cutting-edge work that drives food safety forward. By focusing specifically on technological innovation and rapid diagnostics, we ensure high visibility, strong citation potential, and relevance to both academic and industrial audiences.

We welcome original research, reviews, and case studies that align with our mission. Join us in shaping the future of food safety technology.
