Controlling foodborne antimicrobial resistance requires a One Health approach centered on food hygiene. Although antimicrobial stewardship can slow the emergence and enrichment of resistant bacteria, existing environmental reservoirs mean that resistant bacteria can contaminate food regardless of antimicrobial use.
The review also identifies six health effect categories for further evaluation as part of efforts to support the development of health-based values for the “forever chemicals.”
A new review by FAO researchers identifies how food loss and waste (FLW) can disseminate antibiotic resistance (AMR), as well as practices that can either mitigate or exacerbate AMR dissemination from FLW.
The UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) commissioned a review to assess the current state of allergen testing methodologies, with the goal of identifying gaps, harmonizing testing protocols, and supporting risk management strategies.
A recent literature review has provided an overview of the impacts of climate change on significant foodborne pathogens, parasites, and toxins; specifically, Salmonella, Campylobacter, Vibrio, Cryptosporidium, Giardia, and marine biotoxins.
As part of an effort to promote food safety culture under the New Era of Smarter Food Safety blueprint, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has commissioned a literature review to address overarching questions about the concept.
To strengthen federal food safety regulation, the Reagan-Udall Foundation has published its independent review of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) Human Foods Program, focusing on organizational culture, structure, resources, and authorities. The evaluation will be used to “inform a new vision for the FDA Human Foods Program.”
A recent review of available scientific literature outlined the food safety aspects of edible insects and suggests that, when cooked or processed in certain ways, edible insects can be a safe food product.
The Reagan-Udall Foundation has announced five members of its Independent Expert Panel who will evaluate the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) human foods program. The evaluation will launch September 8, 2022.
A recently published review examines the history of foodborne illness outbreaks caused by Listeria monocytogenes in the UK, challenges that food manufacturers face when dealing with the pathogen, and potential future research and strategies related to the pathogen.
