Food safety, nutrition, and food security are closely linked. Unsafe food creates a cycle of disease and malnutrition, particularly affecting infants, young children, elderly, and the sick. In addition to contributing to food and nutrition security, a safe food supply also supports national economies, trade, and tourism, stimulating sustainable development.
In the last 5 years, the US Food and Drug Administration has approved 4 anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CART19) products for relapsed/refractory B cell lymphomas and leukemia. Ho...

Cannabis science is rapidly evolving and cannabis microbiology is often misinterpreted or even forgotten. In and industry without standardization there’s a lack of consistency, and at...
Recent reports on the consumption of delta-8 Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) have led to a qualmish riddle. Delta-8 THC is an isomer of delta-9 THC, that some believe is legal to synthesize under...
Like any other agricultural crop, pesticides are applied to hemp plants to protect it from pests and improve growth yield. Chronic exposure to pesticides can lead to serious health risks and...
Date: November 30, 2021 Time: 7:00am (PDT), 10:00am (EDT) Wastewater Surveillance programs for SARS-CoV-2 are being implemented by health authorities globally. Many laboratories are currentl...
Food safety is arguably the most important segment of food science and analysis. From residual pesticide contamination to allergens to mycotoxins, there are many ways food can be harmful to...
Pesticides are routinely applied to crops to prevent or control pests and are therefore routinely tested for the presence of pesticide residues and to check for compliance with permitted Max...
While the frequency of pandemic threats seems to be increasing, we fortunately have new tools and technologies to make vaccines with more precision and speed and that support a more proactiv...
2020 started as a year of inspired regulatory improvements to increase the safety and quality of food in the US. Due to recent pandemic effects, the expected regulatory trends have evolved....
Background and aim: Rapid and complex diagnosis of viral, bacterial and parasitic infections is highly desirable not only in clinical practice, but also in food safety or early warning syste...
In order to emit less contaminants into the environment, and at the same time produce healthier foods that are free of those contaminants, all production systems should be investigated, i.e....
