Food Safety Up Close: Insights into LGL's Residue Laboratory
How safe are our food and drinking water? During this special tour as part of the LGL Campus event series, visitors will gain insights into official residue analytics and experience how the Bavarian State Office for Health and Food Safety examines pesticides in food and water.
Research, Consumer Protection, and Local Expertise
Pesticides support conventional agriculture in protecting plants from diseases and help prevent crop failures. At the same time, official food monitoring checks whether residues comply with legally established maximum levels and remain safe for health. The tour combines scientific expertise with illustrative insights into the work of a specialized residue laboratory.
A Look Behind the Scenes of Laboratory Analytics
The focus is on LGL's testing procedures: samples from food and drinking water are analyzed, measurement values are evaluated, and placed in the context of legal requirements. The event makes visible the professional precision, modern analytics, and governmental control that stand behind daily consumer protection.
Knowledge for Everyone at LGL Campus
The LGL Campus event series – Knowledge for Everyone is aimed at the interested public, professionals, and the media. The format creates direct access to current topics from research, health, food safety, and consumer protection. Dr. Franziska Gaßmann from LGL, the State Institute for Residues and Contaminants, will accompany the event in Erlangen.
