    • Food Protection Trends

    • Luchansky, J. B., A. C. S. Porto-Fett, and B. Chapman. Food safety-related infrastructure, procedures, and practices at grocery stores play an important role in protecting public health. Thus, as part of a companion study to establish the "true" prevalence of Listeria monocytogenes among ready-to-eat (RTE) foods purchased at retail stores, digital photographs were recorded by data collectors trained to identify potential perceived and actual food safety risk situations.

  2. Developing a citizen science method to collect whole turkey thermometer usage behaviors

    • Food Protection Trends

    • Duong, M., J. B. Luchansky, A. C. S. Porto-Fett, C. Warren, and B. Chapman. Citizen science is a unique data collection method in which non-scientists gather and interpret data in collaboration with professional scientists. The purpose of this study was to identify thermometer usage behaviors through a different process for data collection. Most thermometer usage studies happen through self-reported, quantitative studies.
