- E. coli O157:H7 Intervention for Use at Retail Level
-
As E. coli O157:H7 emerged as a significant foodborne illness-causing pathogen, efforts were made to measure the incidence of this microorganism in raw ground beef and trimmings.
- Advances in Automated Rapid Methods for Enumerating E. coli
-
Enumeration methods have improved dramatically in the past few years, becoming more rapid, more automated and more accurate.
- Potential Use of Edible Nanoscale Coatings for Meat
-
Edible films potentially could be developed that contain antimicrobially encapsulated nanoparticles for improving the safety of meat.
- Can Food Safety Issues Ever Result in Consensus?
-
Don A. Franco, DVM, MPH, DACVPM, describes his assessment of a conference seminar on ground beef contamination with multi-drug-resistant Salmonella.
- Fine-Tuning Your Environmental Monitoring Program
-
The importance of a sound environmental monitoring program cannot be overstated.
- Why Consumers Take Risks with Food Safety
-
Whenever foodborne outbreaks hit the news, the question always arises: Why don’t consumers take more care with handling and cooking their food?
- Trends in Meat Safety: The Scientific Advantage
-
The food industry as a whole has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in food safety interventions that have directly resulted in lowered levels of microbial contamination on meat.
- Understanding STEC: A Growing Concern
-
To understand the challenges of testing for pathogenic STEC, we need to understand the mechanics of what makes them deadly.
- How to Keep Your Focus on Food Safety
-
How does one distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate or unsupported claims of foodborne illness?
- Getting a Handle on Listeria
-
An interview with Catherine W. Donnelly, Ph.D., University of Vermont, provides background on the emergence of this pathogen as a health concern.
- AMIF’s Food Safety Initiative: Progress and Possibilities
-
Experts from the American Meat Institute conduct a roundtable discussion of the key issues facing the meat industry today.
- Pitfalls of Environmental Testing for Listeria with PCR
-
Are PCR-based methods appropriate for the detection of Listeria spp. in environmental surface samples?
- The Challenge of Regulating Allergens in Food
-
FDA’s evaluation of an ingredient’s status as an allergen includes an assessment of harm to individuals who may ingest the ingredient.
- Biofilms: Forming a Defense Strategy for the Food Plant
-
The best defense against biofilms in the food production facility is a good offense developed as part of the sanitation program.
- Modern Meat Safety: A Technological Toolbox
-
What has the industry been doing over the past 30 years to make meat safer?
- Seek & Destroy: Identifying and Controlling Listeria monocytogenes Growth Niches
-
This article is focused on a method that Land O'Frost has been using to manage processing plant environments to eliminate the root cause of product contamination by Listeria monocytogenes.
- Real-Time PCR Test Kit Provides Faster Time to Results
-
Advances in PCR kits have lead to improvements in testing for Salmonella.
- BSE in the USA: The Madness Continues
-
The third article in a series taking a look at the threat of bovine spongiform encephalopathy to the food industry.
- Winning the War Against Foodborne Pathogens
-
Innovations in antimicrobial systems help food processors stay ahead of foodborne illness-related recalls.
- Self-Contained Rapid Salmonella and Listeria Test Kits: Protect Against Chances of Cross-Contamination in Your Plant
-
Outsourcing of testing occurs often due to fears of cross-contamination; these fears can be minimized with improved bacterial enrichment methods.
