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. A quantitative exposure assessment model for norovirus in oysters harvested from a classified production area

    • Microbial Risk Analysis

    • Norovirus is a significant hazard to consumers of shellfish, in particular oysters. Oysters grown in waters contaminated with wastewater filter and accumulate norovirus particles, causing infection in humans when the product is consumed raw or lightly cooked. In the European Union (EU) and the United States, bacterial detection criteria are used to assess and manage microbial risk in shellfish.

  2. Quantitative modeling of school cafeteria share tables predicts reduced food waste and manageable norovirus-related food safety risk.

    • Microbial Risk Analysis

    • Share tables (ST) allow students to share unwanted food items with other students in school cafeterias, making them a possible method to reduce food waste and insecurity. This study assesses potential food safety risks and food security benefits of a ST system, to assess if future work on STs is warranted. But food safety concerns from stakeholders hinder ST implementation.
