About us
Whether pathogens in humans, animals and plants, counterfeit drugs, antibiotic resistance, residues in food, soil and seed testing or radiation and climate protection: we are always involved in preventing and containing potential risks for humans, animals and plants and thus ensuring greater safety for consumers in Austria. To ensure this, we analyze, monitor, evaluate, research and communicate 365 days a year.
