ASSURED Point-of-Need Food Safety Screening: A Critical Assessment of Portable Food Analyzers

Portable Nanoparticle-Based Sensors for Food Safety Assessment

The use of nanotechnology-derived products in the development of sensors and analytical measurement methodologies has increased significantly over the past decade. Nano-based sensing approaches include the use of nanoparticles (NPs) and nanostructures to enhance sensitivity and selectivity, design new detection schemes, improve sample preparation and increase portability. This review summarizes...

Representative sampling for food and feed materials: a critical need for food/feed safety.

The need for partnerships for food safety.

Editor’s note: NEHA strives to provide up­ to-date and relevant information on en­ vironmental health and to build partner­ ships in the profession. In pursuit of these goals, we will feature a column from the Environmental Health Services Branch (EHSB) of the Centers for Disease Con­ trol and Prevention (CDC) in every issue of the Journal. EHSB’s objective is to strengthen the role of state, l...

Food Safety Assessment of Genetically Modified Crops

well known in rats fed similar diets, and that the sample size (six rats) was too small to draw any conclusions. Following the production of the first transgenic plants, health issues The report by Ewen and Pusztai (1999) was seized concerning the safety of using genetically modified (GM) crops in foods and feeds have been discussed, debated, and evaluated. The upon by anti-GM advocates to supp...
