More than 230 food samples from
Africa, Asia and South America were examined for the Salone del
Gusto food fair and Terra Madre conference taking place in
Turin, the institute that performed the tests said Thursday.
The Istituto Zooprofilattico searched the food samples for
pathogens like Salmonella and Listeria, and for chemical
contaminants to guarantee the safety of the international
culinary offerings produced for the events organized by Slow
Food, which promotes sustainable, local, traditional practices.
Every sample passed the microbiological and chemical
checks, the institute said.
