A recent study of genomic data for Campylobacter from 2009–2019 found a steep increase in human infections attributable to poultry, as well as a concerning rise in the proportion of multidrug-resistant isolates. Campylobacter isolates associated with poultry were found to harbor the most antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
A recent study analyzed U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) food product recall data from 2002–2023, drawing conclusions from more than 35,000 product recalls.
USDA’s Agricultural Research Service and the University of Maine recently held a workshop convening researchers, state partners, and other experts to identify research needs and solutions for per- and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS) contamination on farms.
Domestic sales of medically important antibiotics for use in food-producing chicken, turkey, cattle, and swine fell by 2 percent in 2023, according to the latest report from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Following the history of serious food safety noncompliances at Boar’s Head’s Jarratt, Virginia plant, which led to a fatal listeriosis outbreak, USDA’s Inspector General has launched an internal investigation into the agency’s handling of the repeated sanitary violations found at the facility.
On November 6, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) will hold a technical seminar on artificial intelligence (AI) for food safety, a virtual livestream of which will be available for public viewing.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA-FSIS) has extended its comment period for its proposed regulatory framework for Salmonella in raw poultry products for a second time, now giving stakeholders until January 2025 to submit feedback.
Researchers with Ayass Bioscience have developed a novel, aptamer-based solution that neutralizes peanut allergens with potential application in the agriculture, food production, and sanitation sectors. The technology is non-invasive, and does not involve genetic modification to peanuts or traditional immunotherapy for patients.
The International Avian Influenza and One Health Emerging Issues Summit, hosted by the University of Arkansas (U of A) Center of Excellence for Poultry Science in Fayetteville, Arkansas on September 30-October 3, focused on highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) and other animal pathogens and viruses affecting food safety and public health.
Combining genomic sequencing data and artificial intelligence (AI), researchers have demonstrated the efficacy of a new approach for the untargeted detection of contaminants, antibiotics, and other food safety anomalies in bulk milk samples.
