Food consumption Survey 2022-2023- Estimation of food and supplement consumption and nutrient intake in the Belgian population
individuals with two complete recalls were included in these analyses, which means that the study sample differs slightly from other analyses. To ensure the representativeness of the Belgian population, ...
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
bacterium that occurs as a contaminant in food and feed, occasionally resulting in food poisoning through the production of various toxins. In this study, we retrospectively characterized viable B. cereus ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
contaminant present in the sample at once, possibly also at the SNP level. At the time this study started, shotgun metagenomics for the study of food contaminants was in its infancy. Moreover, strain-level ...
Global case study of digital marketing on social media by a top soda brand.

interactions (likes, comments and shares) that each post received by Facebook users. Also, we analyzed the characteristics, and the use of marketing strategies on posts in a random sample of 10% (n = 1217) of ...
Shotgun metagenomics as a ONE Health tool for better protecting human health
defined as the study of all genetic material within a sample, using sequencing technologies. Shotgun metagenomics is capable of detecting a wide range of microorganisms in a sample, as well as their ...
Determination of the Transport Efficiency in spICP-MS Analysis Using Conventional Sample Introduction Systems: An Interlaboratory Comparison Study
Publication Type: Peer reviewed scientific article Authors: Otmar Geiss; Ivana Bianchi; Guillaume Bucher; Eveline Verleysen; Frederic Brassinne; Jan Mast; Katrin Loeschner; Lucas Givelet; Francesco Cubadda; Francesca Ferraris; Andrea Raggi; Francesca Iaco ...
Application of a strain-level shotgun metagenomics approach on food samples: resolution of the source of a Salmonella food-borne outbreak
2 weeks after receipt of the sample, which was freshly prepared tartar sauce in a meal cooked at the school. Our team used this outbreak as a case study to deliver a proof of concept for a short-read ...
Particle size analysis of pristine food-grade titanium dioxide and E 171 in confectionery products: Interlaboratory testing of a SP-ICP-MS screening method and confirmation with transmission electron microscopy.
relatively simple sample food matrices used in this study, bath sonication turned out to be sufficient to reach the highest, achievable degree of dispersed constituent particles. For the pristine material, ...
Iron Deficiency Is a Risk Factor for Thyroid Dysfunction During Pregnancy: A Population-Based Study in Belgium
elevated particularly in pregnant women. This study aimed to investigate the effects of iron status on thyroid function in a nationally representative sample of mildly iodine-deficient pregnant ...
A shotgun metagenomics approach to detect and characterize unauthorized genetically modified microorganisms in microbial fermentation products
study, this approach was performed on a case with a previously isolated and sequenced GMM, an unresolved case for which no isolate was obtained, and a non‐ GMM ‐contaminated sample, all repre- sentative ...
