Food experts say many
everyday foods you eat could have ingredients you'd never think
about...like traces of pork in ground beef.
FSU Food Scientist
Peggy Hsieh has received grants to make two types of testing strips
that everyday people can use to test what they eat.
One of the strips
will be able to detect fish allergens in food, while another strip will
detect traces of pork fat, which could be a relief for many who observe
religious customs.

Professor Peggy Hsieh says, "Billions of Muslim people and Jewish
people, they do not allow to eat any kind of form of pork."
Hsieh says research
for the pork fat strips should take two years, while research on the
fish allergen strips should be done in three years
