The project sought feedback from members of the public on their perceptions of genome edited (GE) food and its potential future labelling.
The research highlighted low participant awareness of GE and its difference to GM, and the need to educate t

Based on evidence from whole-genome sequencing (WGS), epidemiologic investigation, and food purchase histories, the USDA-FSIS was able to identify and facilitate removal of adulterated product from commerce and prevent further illnesses.
Whole genome sequencing helped identify concurrent outbreaks of a rare Salmonella serotype in Germany in 2017, according to a study.
Whole genome sequencing (WGS) of Salmonella Kottbus isolates revealed three co-circulating clusters in the country be
Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157, a Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), is an important foodborne pathogen, responsible for numerous outbreaks of gastrointestinal infection worldwide. It is now apparent, however, that E. coli isolates of serogroups

For over 20 years, PulseNet, the national laboratory network that detects foodborne disease outbreaks, has prevented illness and saved money. PulseNet helps public health scientists identify and solve outbreaks of foodborne illness in the United Stat
More than 20 people have been infected by a rare strain of Salmonella in Denmark, with half of them needing hospital treatment.
The Statens Serum Institut (SSI) is investigating the outbreak that has sickened 23 people since May. Eleven people needed
The use of whole genome sequencing can improve the way antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is monitored in food and animals, EFSA says in a new report published today. Ahead of the revised legislation on AMR monitoring that is due to come into force in 20
