Animals play a crucial role in food safety, acting as both a source of foodborne pathogens and a vital component in ensuring the safety of the food supply. 🐄

Leading the charge in this vital area of research is our courtesy faculty member, Dr. Nikki Shariat at the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine.🔬 🐾

Veterinarians and other professionals work to minimize risks associated with animal-related foodborne illnesses through various measures, including disease prevention, hygiene protocols, and responsible antimicrobial use. 🐾

Ever wonder how we fight viral pathogens in our food and environment? 🦠 The Esseili Lab for Environmental & Food Virology is on the case! They're researching how these viruses behave to develop smarter ways to detect, prevent, and control them from farm to fork. Their goal? To lighten the public health and economic burden of viral illnesses.🌍🔬

Did you know parasites cause nearly 30% of foodborne illnesses worldwide? 🦠 That's a huge challenge, and the FAO is tackling it head-on!

An expert meeting attended by our very own Dr. Ynes Ortega to update global guidance on how we assess, detect, control, and prevent foodborne parasites like Cryptosporidium and Toxoplasma. This crucial work aims to make our food systems safer, especially in vulnerable communities.

Another making an imprint on food Safety! 🐾
