Metagenomics-based tracing of genetically modified microorganism contaminations in commercial fermentation products
product were detected. Presence of AMR genes in the samples was strongly associated with GMM contamination, emphasizing the potential public health risk. Additionally, a variety of other microbial ...
The promotion of ultra-processed foods in modern retail food outlets in rural and urban areas in Kenya.
retail food outlets (supermarkets and minimarts) in Kenya and associated factors. DESIGN: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Kenya from August 2021 to October 2021. Variables included the ...
Please don't throw me in the briar patch! Empirical evidence on the role of instructional cues on eco-label usage in fish consumption decisions
ambiguous, with uncertainties regarding induced consumption shifts stemming from both deliberate information processing and less deliberate associations. This article presents findings from a randomized ...
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 ...
Association between adherence to the EAT-Lancet sustainable reference diet and cardiovascular health among European adolescents: the HELENA study.
diets within planetary boundaries. Studies evaluating the associations between the reference diet with health outcomes among adolescents are scarce. Thus, our aim was to assess the association between ...
BSFM 2023- L. monocytogenes in Plant-Based Foods: insights from of a recent foodborne outbreak linked to vegan alternative to cheese
Listeriosis outbreaks have been associated with a wide range of animal-derived foods, including unpasteurized milk, dairy products, raw or undercooked meat and raw or smoked fish products. A survey conducted by ...
Strain-level characterization without culture enrichment? Easing and accelerating outbreak investigation using shotgun metagenomics facilitated with nanopore adaptive sampling
Staphylococcus aureus) compared to shotgun metagenomics without adaptive sampling on DNA of mashed potatoes spiked with DNA of S. aureus at a level of 0.5%. The strain was previously associated with a foodborne ...
EFSA Project on the use of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) for the hazard assessment of nanofibres. Lot 1, nanocellulose oral exposure: gastrointestinal digestion, nanofibres uptake and local effects
NC. In the present project, a NAM-based IATA for addressing data gaps in the assessment of potential hazards associated to NC oral exposure was considered. This IATA focused on three main pillars, i.e. ...
Cost and greenhouse gas emissions of current, healthy, flexitarian and vegan diets in Aotearoa (New Zealand)
Abstract: Objective: To compare the costs and climate impact (greenhouse gas emissions) associated with current and healthy diets and two healthy and environmentally friendly dietary patterns: flexitarian ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
had only rarely been associated with human cases of an outbreak, let alone during a real outbreak. Therefore, this PhD centered on the development of shotgun metagenomics methods to study ...
