Creating a machine that can detect harmful substances in food for home use

[QUOTE="etudiant, post: 5415939, member: 320767"] What you ask for is brutally difficult. Substances that are harmful may accumulate selectively in specific parts of a food, for instance the seeds of a pear, so testing the surface will give a misleading impression of safety. Worse, we do not have sensors that can be used repeatedly or that can monitor a variety of potential toxins. It is probably more practical to monitor/ regulate the production and distribution of toxic materials, even though that will always fall short of the end user testing that we all would really prefer.
