Overview
Food safety is the discipline of ensuring that food does not cause harm to the consumer, addressing the hazards that may contaminate food from production through processing, distribution, and preparation. Hazards are classified as biological, including bacteria, viruses, parasites, and the toxigenic moulds that produce mycotoxins; chemical, including pesticide residues, environmental contaminants, and naturally occurring toxins; and physical. Control rests on understanding contamination routes and applying preventive systems such as hazard analysis, good hygienic practice, and risk assessment, supported by analytical methods capable of detecting and quantifying contaminants at trace levels. Foodborne illness and chronic exposure to dietary toxicants make food safety a central public-health concern. Peer-reviewed research in this area examines liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry applications for detecting contaminants, the microbiological and nutritional properties of processed products, the preservative and antimicrobial properties of plant extracts such as rosemary, the public-health effects of aflatoxins in milk and dairy products, the toxicological role of biogenic amines, quantitative microbiological risk assessment, and nucleic-acid techniques for detecting genetically modified organisms. Studies combine analytical chemistry, microbiology, risk assessment, and review. This work connects the detection and control of hazards to the protection of consumer health. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research in nutrition addressing food safety, contamination, and quality.
