Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food safety hazards can lead to a variety of food-borne illnesses in humans, some of which are even life-threatening. During the raw material production, harvesting, processing, shipping, and storage of food, a variety of hazardous and poisonous substances, such as acrylamide, aflatoxins, and N-nitroso compounds, may be created and introduced. Nonetheless, the molecular mechanisms and targets of most hazards remain unclear. Detailed disclosure of the toxicity mechanism and bioavailability of food safety hazards is required. Animal models and cellular models are commonly used in the toxicological evaluation of food safety hazards. While animal models offer advantages such as short reproduction cycles and genetic manipulation, they are also limited by genetic background differences and ethical considerations. In contrast, in vitro cultured cellular models compensate for these drawbacks and reflect the organism's changes from a general to a detailed level. In-depth exploration of the effects of food safety hazards on animal or human cells and the related molecular mechanisms can provide a more accurate basis for control, standardization and revision of food safety.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Foods is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
