Food spoilage due to postbaking mold contamination is a major concern in the bakery industry. This study investigated how postbaking mold contamination occurs by conducting onsite inspections through a case study of bakery company in Taiwan. Basic information about the company hygiene management...

Previous studies have explored the key perspectives of food safety culture and measured the microbial performance of food safety control and assurance activities. This study empirically extends the research on the relationship between food safety culture and food safety performance, and broadens...

In recent years, consumer awareness of food safety has been increasing, and food workers with professional food safety knowledge, attitude, and practical implementation are essential for maintaining the quality of food as well as preventing foodborne diseases.

The retail market is the largest domestic unwashed chicken egg market in Taiwan. Being unwashed, contamination may be introduced, and internal pathogens may grow during the collection, distribution, transport, and storage stages of the eggs. Microbial safety is an important factor contributing to...

Fipronil and its metabolite fipronil sulfone, when found in some food products, such as eggs, have caused major public health concerns. In this study, we used gold nanorods (AuNRs) and graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites to fabricate a layer-by-layer assembled three dimensional (3D) substrate for...

Foodborne illness is a common public health problem. To avoid foodborne illness, many studies suggested that food safety education was an effective way. In Taiwan, a food safety course is formally taught to sixth graders. The study aims to evaluate effects of the food safety course on knowledge,...

New approach methodologies in toxicology, such as in vitro high-throughput screening (HTS), can minimize the use of experimental animals and allow mechanism-based predictions of in vivo toxicity. HTS data has been increasingly used in the regulatory context; however, only a few studies integrated...

The use of dashboard monitoring is increasingly desirable for modern food safety management. Therefore, a customized dashboard was developed with three components: Traceable timing chart, Violation Table, and Statistical Table. Raw and cooked chicken (n = 84) and pork samples (n = 96) were taken...

In recent decades, food safety has become a major concern due to frequent food safety incidents in many countries. This may lead to increased health risks associated with low quality food consumption, thereby reducing consumer trust in food safety. A better understanding of consumer perceptions of ...

In this study, the new methodologies of the ISO 22000:2018 and HACCP systems were fully implemented in an organization from the pre-prepared postpartum meal industry. One of the organization's dishes was chosen as an example dish. The Critical Control Points (CCPs) were identified as the acceptance ...
