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 comparison of neural and non-neural machine learning models for food safety risk prediction with European Union RASFF data

    • Food Control

    • European Union launched the RASFF portal in 1977 to ensure cross-border monitoring and a quick reaction when public health risks are detected in the food chain. There are not enough resources available to guarantee a comprehensive inspection policy, but RASFF data has enormous potential as a preventive tool. However, there are few studies of food and feed risk issues prediction and none with RASFF data.

  3. Prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella in conventional and no antibiotics ever broiler farms in the United States

    • Food Control

    • Author(s): Estefanía Novoa Rama, Matthew Bailey, Sanjay Kumar, Cortney Leone, Henk C. den Bakker, Harshavardhan Thippareddi, Manpreet Singh Non-typhoidal Salmonella is the second most common bacterial cause of foodborne illness in the United States. More than 50% of the poultry meat sold in the U.S. is categorized as no antibiotics ever (NAE), yet it is unclear how these practices affect the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of Salmonella.
