Retrospective surveillance of viable Bacillus cereus group contaminations in commercial food and feed vitamin B2 products sold on the Belgian market using whole-genome sequencing
Kevin Vanneste Source: Frontiers in Microbiology, Volume 14 (2023) Keywords: Bacillus cereus Food Additives riboflavin Surveillance whole-genome sequencing Abstract: Bacillus cereus is a spore-forming ...
Modelling the pesticide transfer during tea and herbal tea infusions by the identification of critical infusion parameters.
limits. Consideration of the transfer of pesticides from the leaves (called transfer factors) to the brew is essential to assess the associated risk. This study identified infusion parameters influencing ...
Integration of various dimensions in food-based dietary guidelines via mathematical approaches: report of a DGE/FENS Workshop in Bonn, Germany, 23–24 September 2019Abstract
view of pressing challenges, such as climate change and the rising burden of diet-related diseases, the simultaneous integration of evidence-based findings from different dimensions into FBDG s is ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
It was proven that whole genome sequencing has a higher resolution than any combination of tests carried out so far. But the isolation is not always possible, and it is time-consuming. A new method ...
Simultaneous Detection and Quantification of Aflatoxin M1, Eight Microcystin Congeners and Nodularin in Dairy Milk by LC-MS/MS
among infants and children. However, it is crucial to address the presence of multiple natural toxic compounds that may co-occur in dairy milk to ensure its safety prior to consumption. Aflatoxin M1 ...
The contribution of cacao consumption to the bioaccessible dietary cadmium exposure in the Belgian population
chocolate) lower compared to wheat flour, suggesting lower bioavailability in chocolate than in wheat, which is a main contributor to dietary Cd. This study suggests that Cd intake from cacao consumption has ...
Targeted High-Throughput Sequencing Enables the Detection of Single Nucleotide Variations in CRISPR/Cas9 Gene-Edited Organisms
enforcement laboratories is required by the competent authorities to guarantee food/feed safety and traceability (2003/1829/ EC; 2003/1830/ EC). However, their detection is potentially challenging at both the ...
Regulatory safety assessment of nanoparticles for the food chain in Europe
considerations for over a decade. Now that more experience is gained with evaluating novel foods, food contact materials, food/feed additives and pesticides, the outlines for regulatory safety assessments and data ...
The cost of healthy versus current diets in the Netherlands for households with a low, middle and high education.
(2022) Abstract: The cost of food is an important driver of food choice and most evidence suggests that healthier diets are more costly than less healthy diets. However, current attempts to model the cost ...
Methodological choices in brucellosis burden of disease assessments: A systematic review
estimates (Years of Life Lost) in their assessments due to lack of data or the assumption that brucellosis is not a fatal disease. Only two studies used a model with variable health states and corresponding ...
