Application of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Food Safety

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) with food safety has garnered significant attention, revolutionizing the landscape of food production, processing, and distribution. The use of AI and ML algorithms offers unprecedented opportunities to enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and effectiveness of various aspects of food safety management, ranging from early detection of contaminants to ensuring regulatory compliance throughout the supply chain. As we continue to witness advancements in technology, there arises a pressing need to consolidate and disseminate cutting-edge research and innovations in this rapidly evolving field.

This call for a Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders in the food chain to showcase their latest findings, methodologies, and applications pertaining to the integration of AI and ML in food safety. We invite original research articles, reviews, case studies, and perspectives that explore diverse aspects of this interdisciplinary domain, including but not limited to predictive modeling for risk assessment, sensor-based monitoring systems, intelligent food traceability, adaptive quality control, and decision support systems.
