Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food is the foundation of survival for many animals. Therefore, food safety issues are not only related to the quality of foods but also influence the health of consumers in the ecosystem, including humans at the top of the food chain. In recent years, hazardous substances generated by climate change, environmental pollution, pathogenic microorganisms, industrial production, packaging and transportation, and cooking processes, among others, have been discovered extensively in food consumed daily. However, whether these hazardous substances pose risks to us, and, indeed, how they might affect us through diet, is a critical question that must answer. This multidisciplinary Special Issue aims to publish papers related to the identification, risk assessment, and dietary exposure of any known and unknown hazardous substances in foods. The contribution of high-quality research articles, original review papers, commentaries, and communications is encouraged, as the aim of this special issue is to provide readers with a concise overview of recent advances in food safety and inspire researchers to clarify the risk levels, mechanisms, and methods that could be applied in order to control these hazards in foods.
