The Achyut Adhikari Research Group is conducting several projects focused on preventive, FSMA-aligned strategies to reduce microbiological risks during pre-harvest and processing of produce, including hydroponic production, manure fertilizer treatment, food-contact surface sanitation, and antimicrobial packaging development.
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) recently published a report that examines the risk assessment process of microorganisms used as pesticides, which may provide a solution for a more sustainable food system.
Pest control is integral in protecting food from its origin to the end-user. A food producer must control what happens at its site to ensure that its facility and food shipments are pest-free.
