Rapid detection of foodborne pathogens is very important by using biosensors. The objectives of this review are to highlight the application of the biosensors in detecting foodborne pathogens, future trends of biosensors technology in foodborne pathogens detection, and limitations of biosensors in the food industry. Biosensors are analytical devices and one of the rapid detection methods that can combat certain limitations of conventional detection techniques, such as portability, time, cost, sensitivity, and others. Biosensors have many applications in different fields. Biosensors in the food industry are used for the detection and identification of foodborne pathogens. The uses of biosensors in food are increasing from day to day due to different factors. In the future, the latest generations, which are autonomous and nanomaterial-based biosensors will emerge. There is also a need to develop a biosensor that is easy to use and has a short detection time. http://pubs.sciepub.com/ajmr/9/3/4/ajmr-9-3-4.pdf biosensors food foodborne pathogens rapid detection
