The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published an outline of its research priorities regarding the dairy food safety implications of
Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) H5N1.
Researchers from Purdue
University have developed a new biosensor-based rapid test that can detect fecal contamination of produce in-field with 90–100 percent accuracy.
Approximately half of raw chicken sold at Lidl stores across five European countries are contaminated with antibiotic-resistant foodborne pathogens, according to the findings of a recent sampling and testing project commissioned by Essere Animali.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has provided updates on its sampling and testing activities of retail milk for the presence of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viral fragments. Additionally, Health Canada and CFIA recently completed a study on pasteurization’s efficacy against HPAI in milk.
Intended to inform food safety decision-making, a new risk assessment model developed by researchers at Penn State University helps milk processors evaluate possible consumer exposure to Bacillus cereus from milk subjected to high-temperature, short-time pasteurization.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA’s FSIS) is planning to implement new detection approaches in its laboratories and will update the associated Microbiology Laboratory Guidebook chapters.
On July 8, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA-FSIS) will hold a webinar on the use of whole genome sequencing (WGS) to support FSIS’ food safety mission.
A novel, chemical- and heat-free egg processing technique utilizing engineered water nanostructures has been shown to effectively inactivate pathogens on eggshells while preserving eggs’ physical and nutritional quality.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has revealed preliminary findings from a multi-year environmental study of a specific growing region in the Southwest U.S., which sought to better understand the ecology of human pathogens in the environment.
University of Edinburgh researchers have conducted a study that affirms the efficacy of standard pasteurization practices against Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) H5N1.
