Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food safety has a profound impact on the quality of human life, and there are many external factors that affect both of these areas. It is a term that encompasses many facets of the handling, preparation, and storage of food to prevent illness and injury. Controlling food contaminants which can be life-threatening for some highly sensitive people is the priority of food safety or quality. The relative numbers of illnesses due to microorganisms make microbiological quality the most important aspect of food safety. Food safety and quality management systems are the most important goals to be achieved in order to protect people’s health and wellbeing. As the role of innovation and research is important, this Special Issue, with a "One Health" approach, invites the submission of papers demonstrating the important role that the multidisciplinary perspective can play in relation to food safety with a holistic vision of hygienic food, public health, environmental science, food control, and/or other topics. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome to be submitted. Research areas may include the following topics:
- Food safety;
- Impact of food safety on One Health;
- Emerging technologies in safeguarding food safety;
- Food and human health.
