This episode of Food Safety Five discusses two scientific developments that could help address the risk posed by Cronobacter in powdered infant formula: an AI-powered analysis of genetic data for C. sakazakii, providing new insight into why it persists in low-moisture foods, and the development of a promising new assay.
A new study led by the University of South Australia offers a promising real-time mycotoxin detection method for the food industry that is based in artificial intelligence (AI) technology, and overcomes some of the limitations of traditional detection methods.
Using an artificial intelligence (AI) model to standardize and analyze a massive, global set of whole genome sequencing (WGS) data for Cronobacter sakazakii, University of Maryland researchers have discovered genetic traits that may explain the pathogen’s persistence and virulence in low-moisture foods like powdered infant formula.
GrubMarket has launched the first-ever artificial intelligence (AI) -powered agent for the food supply chain, designed specifically to help food wholesalers and distributors streamline and automate critical inventory workflows.
Clariot from Alfa Laval is an artificial intelligence (AI) -based solution purpose-built for hygienic process equipment. It detects and identifies root causes of machine failures related to process, installation, and mechanical conditions.
Advances in AI offer promising opportunities to strengthen food manufacturers' internal compliance efforts with FDA requirements. While FDA has issued written guidances on AI, primarily for drug and medical device companies, its direct application to food safety is still evolving.
A major highlight of the event was the launch of UNIDO’s new Food Safety Approach 2.0, which integrates the most recent best practices and international standards to support Member States in the modernization of their national food control systems.
In the first of this two-part episode of Food Safety Matters, we interviewed professionals from academia, consumer advocacy, and foodservice, live from the show floor of the Food Safety Summit, which took place on May 12–15 in Rosemont, Illinois. We discussed leadership, food additives, leveraging AI for food safety, and more.
At the 2025 Food Safety Summit, the much-anticipated Town Hall session on Thursday featured a candid discussion and attendee Q&A with officials from FDA, USDA-FSIS, CDC, and AFDO.
In this episode of Food Safety Matters, we speak to Christian Ararat, a seasoned food safety and quality professional with a global perspective, about a range of topics, including auditing, traceability, certifications, exporting to the U.S., and artificial intelligence (AI). We also hear from Joseph Corby, the recipient of Food Safety Magazine’s 2025 Distinguished Service Award, about his illustrious career and advocacy work.
