The meat industry needs a tool to address the better quality and guarantee a safer product for consumers because it is linked to human health risks such as pathogens, drug residues, pesticide residues, toxins, contaminants and heavy metals. Biosensor is the latest detection technology in the fast-growing industry including food sector due to its ability to increase the detection specificity, decrease the time of analysis, apply on a large scale and reduce the resource requirement as in the molecular methods. Food quality, food component, food packaging, pathogen, food allergens, drug residues, contaminants and sensory analysis of food can be detected quickly using biosensors. Biosensor can be an important monitoring and controlling tool in food chain from farm to fork in the near future. Although the application of biosensors has advanced significantly, more research is still required, especially to make the majority of laboratory experiments already published on the commercial  market. https://jfsh.tums.ac.ir/index.php/jfsh/article/view/381 https://jfsh.tums.ac.ir/index.php/jfsh/article/download/381/207
