This project has been funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation (MCIN), the State Research Agency (AEI 10.13039/501100011033) and by the European Union EU Next Generation EU-Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (PRTR) through the call for Public-Private Collaboration Projects (CPP) for the year 2021, of the State Program to Promote Scientific-Technical Research and its Transfer, within the framework of the State Plan for Scientific and Technical Research and Innovation 2021-2023.

The general objective of the CRONIC-DSP project consists of evaluating the habitual consumption of bivalves with levels of diarrheal toxins (DSP) lower than those currently legislated to identify long-term safety conditions, and respond to the social demand for safe and healthy food, by placing standards on the market for its control, thus contributing to the protection of Public Health.

For the implementation of the activities necessary to achieve the proposed objectives, CRONIC-DSP has brought together an interdisciplinary consortium made up of the SME Laboratorio CIFGA S.A. (CIFGA) and the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC).
