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. Prescreening veterinary drug residues, heavy metal concentration, and genetic authentication in retail catfish fillets in the Northeast United States

    • Food Control

    • Veterinary drug residues, heavy metals, and species authentication were performed on the demand of the regulatory agency in retail catfish fillets. A total of 362 domestic and imported catfish samples collected from various retail markets in the Northeast region of the United States were tested for the presence of chloramphenicol (CAP), malachite green/gentian violet (MG/GV), As, Cd, Pb, and Hg according to the USDA - FSIS protocols.

    • Food Control

    • Author(s): Wilma Taverne-Veldhuizen, Ron Hoogenboom, Guillaume ten Dam, Rik Herbes, Vincenzo Fogliano, Pieternel Luning Abstract Between 1999 and 2020, there were twelve rapid alerts on dioxins in palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD) products, six of which were associated with hydrogenated palm fatty acid distillates (HPFADs). In palm oil refineries for food and feed, refined palm oil and PFADs can be processed into hydrogenated palm oil and HPFADs.
