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. Oral Treatments With Probiotics and Live Salmonella Vaccine Induce Unique Changes in Gut Neurochemicals and Microbiome in Chickens

    • Frontiers in Microbiology

    • Cross-talk between the gut microbiota and neurochemicals affects health and well-being of animals. However, little is known about this interaction in chickens despite their importance in food production. Probiotics and live Salmonella vaccines are microbial products commonly given orally to layer pullets to improve health and ensure food safety. This study’s objective was to determine how these oral treatments, individually or in combination, would impact the gut environment of chickens.

  5. Can aggregated restaurant inspection data help us understand why individual foodborne illness outbreaks occur?

    • Journal of Food Protection

    • Restaurant inspections seek to identify and correct risk factors for foodborne illness, but restaurant inspection data are not typically used more broadly as a food safety surveillance tool. In 2015, there was an outbreak of Salmonella serotype Newport infections associated with multiple restaurants in a chain (Chain A), primarily in Minnesota. The outbreak was associated with tomatoes that were likely contaminated at the point of production.

  10. Treatment of fresh produce with a Salmonella‐targeted bacteriophage cocktail is compatible with chlorine or peracetic acid and more consistently preserves the microbial community on produce

    • Journal of Food Safety

    • Alpha diversity boxplots showing the distribution of Chao1 diversity for produce items. The Chao1 alpha diversity is presented for samples from farm fresh (cucumbers, tomatoes, and kale) and organic (squash and green bell peppers) produce items collected 1, spiepr146 24, and 96 hr after treatment with water, chlorine, PAA, or SalmoFresh. Abstract Diets rich in minimally processed foods are associated with numerous health benefits, in part, due to their diverse, natural microbiota.

  11. Prevalence of Salmonella in cucumbers, antibiotic and acid resistances and description of the kinetic behavior with dynamic model during storage

    • Journal of Food Safety

    • Salmonella were detected in 3 of 24 cucumbers, all of which were multidrug‐resistant and one was acid‐resistant. In addition, developed dynamic model showed that the Salmonella isolates proliferated gradually in cucumber under changing temperature, simulating storage condition. These results suggest that cross‐contaminated Salmonella could increase during storage. It may lead to human infection, and the treatment may be hard because of antibiotic resistance.

  12. Efficacy of Benzyl Isothiocyanate for Controlling Salmonella on Alfalfa Seeds and Sprouts

    • International Journal of Food Science & Technology

    • The efficacy of benzyl isothiocyanate (BIT), a compound found in cruciferous vegetables, for controlling Salmonella on alfalfa seeds and sprouts was investigated. Alfalfa seeds were inoculated by individual Salmonella enterica serotypes Newport, Typhimurium, Tennessee, Montevideo, or Braenderup at two inoculation levels of 3 or 5 log CFU g‐1, followed by treatment with BIT (0.5%‐2%) or chlorine (2%) for 15 min. Treated seeds were sprouted in seed sprouters.
