This article walks food processors through why and how to mitigate dust in the environment of their food facility.

Honeywell’s new Digital Holographic Microscopy technology leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and light-based holograms to quantify and classify microscopic particles and cells at the point-of-use. It can be used for liquid food safety and quality testing, as well as air and water environmental monitoring.

In this episode of Food Safety Matters, we speak to Joelle Mosso about her work at Western Growers to help produce growers develop improved approaches to food safety and sustainability by considering the entire farm-to-fork continuum. She discusses microbial testing of agricultural water, the transition to sustainable packaging, hygienic design of farm equipment, and other topics.

With funding from the Center for Produce Safety, a researcher from the University of Arizona is exploring the usefulness of a handheld genetic sequencing device for in-field microbial characterization of irrigation water by the produce industry.
