Applied Food Technologies
Applied Food Technologies, Inc. (AFT) is a privately held corporation in Alachua, Florida that develops diagnostics needed in the seafood industry and runs fee-for-service species identification and verification programs. The DNA-based species identification diagnostics developed by AFT are used in-house and are also packaged in a kit format and sold to federal, state and private laboratories in the US, Europe and Asia. AFT has established an extensive library of taxonomically verified fish species and has developed DNA standards for these fish.
Applied Food Technologies is primarily a research and development company focusing on fish species identification using DNA and environmental contaminant detection using gene expression in sentinel organisms. AFT also offers a fee-for-service business for seafood species identification.〔(www.appliedfoodtechnologies.com )〕
Applied Food Technologies was showcased on a national broadcast of ''The Early Show'' on CBS on June 8, 2011 to discuss seafood mislabeling〔http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/06/08/earlyshow/living/money/main20070050.shtml〕 after release of a national publication on the issue by consumer advocate group Oceana and a subsequent ''New York Times'' publication〔http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/27/science/earth/27fish.html?_r=1〕 on the subject. Although in business for several years, Applied Food Technologies came to the national attention after becoming the first company with DNA-based fish species identification methods recognized by the FDA to test all catfish imported from China in the late 2000s.〔Broiled, blackened, fried - DNA-tested?, STEPHEN NOHLGREN, ''St. Petersburg Times'', February 5, 2007〕 Applied Food Technologies was subsequently interviewed in May, 2010, by ABC affiliate WCJB-TV.〔(WCJB News Spotlight )〕 Applied Food Technologies was showcased in University of Florida’s ''Explore'' magazine Fall 2011, issue.〔http://www.research.ufl.edu/explore/current/story_2/index.html〕
AFT has been criticized as being "in industry's pocket" because AFT has been a loud voice in support of industry against media reports of mislabeling. AFT claims their internal testing has shown a much lower mislabeling rate than media reports. Although Applied Food Technologies has been included in numerous media reports concerning seafood species mislabeling and has been contacted to conduct testing for the media many times, AFT does not perform species identification testing for the media, which may be the cause of some criticism. AFT's mission statement includes offering a testing service to the seafood industry utilizing the "best available science" for the purpose of improving the industry to better serve the consumer. Typically the media outlets are unable to meet the chain of custody requirements within the "best available science" component, which is one of the principal reasons AFT does not offer testing to the media.
Applied Food Technologies offers fee-for-service business in several areas including fish species identification (also known as Fish ID), seafood net weight, and antibiotic residue testing, which are described in detail below.
