Tracking environmental temperature changes for their impacts on food safety is increasingly important, as just a few degrees of change will shape how food risks develop and unfold, according to recent research.

At the IAFNS 2022 Annual Meeting and Science Symposium, Dr. Felicia Wu discussed her recent study that suggests aflatoxin will become an increasing problem for U.S. corn producers—especially in the Corn Belt—and explored possible solutions. 

A recent study found that the risk of aflatoxin contamination of U.S. corn crops may increase due to climate change.
