Food Safety Research

Food safety research involves studying how to prevent foodborne illnesses and ensure that the food we eat is safe and healthy. Scientists examine how bacteria, viruses, chemicals, and other contaminants can get into food, and develop methods to detect, control, and eliminate these hazards. This research helps improve processing techniques, storage, handling practices, and regulations to protect consumers, reduce food-related health risks, and ensure the overall safety and quality of the food supply chain.
