Research Publications (Food Safety)

This page tracks research articles published in national and international peer-reviewed journals. Recent articles are available ahead of print and searchable by Journal, Article Title, and Category. Research publications are tracked across six categories: Bacterial Pathogens, Chemical Contaminants, Natural Toxins, Parasites, Produce Safety, and Viruses. Articles produced by USDA Grant Funding Agencies (requires login) and FDA Grant Funding Agencies (requires login) are also tracked in Scopus.

  1. Salmonella enterica prevalence, serotype diversity, antimicrobial resistance and control in the European pork production chain

    • Trends in Food Science & Technology

    • Background A risk assessment conducted by EFSA identified Salmonella enterica (Salmonella) as a high-risk hazard at the EU level in the context of meat inspection of swine. Despite pork being considered an important source of S. Typhimurium and its monophasic variant, Regulation (EC) No 2073/2005 does not set criteria for specific Salmonella serotypes.

  2. Detection of emetic Bacillus cereus and the emetic toxin cereulide in food matrices: Progress and perspectives

    • Trends in Food Science & Technology

    • Background Cereulide, a potent toxin produced by emetic Bacillus cereus (B. cereus), is a small, heat- and acid-stable cyclic dodecadepsipeptide known as a potassium-selective ionophore. Recently, cereulide is responsible for an increasing number of foodborne poisonings due to changes in lifestyle and eating habits.

  4. Review controlling Listeria monocytogenes in ready-to-eat meat and poultry products: An overview of outbreaks, current legislations, challenges, and future prospects

    • Trends in Food Science & Technology

    • Author(s): Xin Zhang, Shouwei Wang, Xi Chen, Chao Qu

      Background
      Listeriosis is a sporadic foodborne disease but with a high fatality. Ready-to-eat (RTE) meat and poultry products (MPPs) are the major associated food vehicles. The consumption of RTE-MPPs products is rapidly increasing due to the modern fast-paced lifestyle. Contamination of Listeria monocytogenes would create a human health crisis and an economic loss.
