Research
Meat & Poultry Safety
Researchers investigate the prevention and control of bacterial foodborne pathogens from production through the processing of meat and poultry products.
Our meat and poultry safety experts are Jennifer Acuff, John Marcy, Tomi Obe, Casey Owens, and Kelly Vierck.
Fresh Produce Safety
Researchers aim to determine how bacterial and viral pathogens enter the fresh produce supply chain along with effective preventive controls including training and outreach.
Our fresh produce safety experts are Kristen Gibson and Amanda Philyaw Perez.
Low Moisture Food Safety
Researchers aim to develop and evaluate thermal and non-thermal interventions to inactivate foodborne pathogens on low moisture foods.
Our low moisture food safety experts are Jennifer Acuff, Griffiths Atungulu, and Jeyam Subbiah.
Retail & Consumer Safety
Researchers investigate best practices within retail food preparation environments as well as consumer handling and food safety perceptions related to high-risk foods such as fresh produce, meat and poultry, and ready-to-eat products.
Our retail and consumer safety experts are Jennifer Acuff, Philip Crandall, Kristen Gibson, and Amanda Philyaw-Perez.
