This time limit is insufficient to practically accomplish postthawing activities (e.g., packing, brining, sealing, retort staging, and time for the center of the can to reach the critical temperature of 50 °C (122°F)).

The goal of this study was to provide “real world” and “worst-case” industrial data to support the development of an accurate maximum cumulative exposure time for tuna processing facilities. A total of 48,933 certificates of analysis (COAs) were compiled and reviewed to determine SA detection frequency (2.14%) and estimate quantitative microbial burden. Review of quantitative results indicates the need for careful review and communication with suppliers to correct for dilution factors in analytical methods. SA levels were closely monitored during typical processing conditions on nine production days which demonstrated consistent control of SA populations (&lt;2 log CFU/g increase) between thawing and retort staging. The processing system was challenged on three production days to create “worst-case” processing conditions where open or sealed cans were packed and held for up to 5 h in the retort staging area at 26 °C (78.8°F). Extended holding times of tuna in open cans led to significant increases in SA populations which confirmed the predicted SE production risk for products with high oxygen availability used to develop the SHG guidance.

So, using data from growers (<em>n</em> = 208 surveyed) and service providers (<em>n</em> = 55 surveyed, 7 interviewed), we explored factors influencing growers’ implementation of USDA GAP programs. Buyers’ requests and food safety requirements were key drivers of adoption. However, many growers cited a lack of buyers’ demand for USDA GAP schemes, a key barrier to broader adoption. Small- and medium-scale growers also face technical and financial challenges inhibiting adoption, which could be addressed by government, private sector, and nonprofit stakeholders. Implementing USDA GAPs must be profitable for small growers, highlighting the need to align adoption efforts with USDA’s broader strategy to connect them to profitable markets. Negative audit experiences and concerns about nonconformities escalating to the FDA deter adoption. Enhancing outreach, education, and trust through Cooperative Extension and regional networks is crucial for improved understanding, acceptance, and adoption of USDA GAP schemes.

To address this important public health issue, ongoing industry efforts have been undertaken to promote a proactive food safety culture that focuses on prevention-based approaches to food safety. In the 1960s, Good Manufacturing Processes (GMPs) and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) were introduced to provide a systematic process to identify and mitigate physical, chemical, and biological risks, and quickly became standard components of a comprehensive quality and food safety program. In 2011, the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) introduced Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventive Controls (HARPC), an expansion of HACCP to products regulated by the United States Food and Drug Administration. This article proposes a complementary program using the HACCP/HARPC construct for the systematic characterization and assessment of analytical tools used in monitoring critical steps in food processes. The Testing Program Critical Control Point (TP-CCP) framework extends the comprehensive HACCP/HARPC model to microbiological monitoring programs (e.g., sampling, testing methodology) to define the theoretical operating limits and realized performance of testing systems. TP-CCP identifies risk mitigation opportunities, supports broad prevention-based control efforts, and establishes a missing feedback loop for continuous improvement in food safety. The proposed TP-CCP ensures a robust network that the food industry can use to obtain a more efficient and reliable testing system to advance public health.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15903,"journal":{"name":"Journal of food protection","volume":"88 7","pages":"Article 100528"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143947213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We adapted and implemented a framework for risk-based decision-making in low-resource settings using Ethiopia as an example, engaging Ethiopian stakeholders in a multiphase process to identify food safety priorities. First, stakeholder representatives were engaged to define statements of concern and purpose; identify foodborne hazards of public health relevance in Ethiopia; and select appropriate risk metrics for risk ranking and prioritization. Second, estimates for each risk metric were calculated for selected foodborne hazards using World Health Organization (WHO) data and expert elicitation. Third, stakeholder representatives were engaged in ranking the hazards as High, Medium, or Low risk; notably, mortality was the preferred risk metric in decision-making. Fourth, attribution estimates to food groups were developed for hazards ranked as High risk using expert elicitation to supplement WHO data. Lastly, stakeholder representatives were engaged in a risk prioritization exercise that identified key control points in four food supply chains and quantified their impact on risk through mitigation of hazards or prevention of contamination. Our proposed framework provides a systematic, evidence-based, and adaptable method for prioritizing the allocation of public sector resources.

Arsenic contamination can occur in various food products due to natural sources or anthropogenic activities. While the toxicity of arsenic at high doses has been understood for millennia, chronic exposure to inorganic arsenic can increase the risk of several forms of cancer. Regulatory standards for arsenic exist for some foods. However, considering the associated health risks, a comprehensive regulatory framework covering all food types remains missing in the United States. A risk assessment of foodborne arsenic would aid in further policy considerations for food safety standards. Our study assesses arsenic-induced cancer risk in the American population from consumption of different food products. We estimate that there are 1,519–10,123, 1,638–10,921, and 1,793–11,957 additional bladder, lung, and skin cancer cases, respectively, in the US every year that are associated with inorganic arsenic exposure from the consumption of eleven common foods. Our estimates suggest that arsenic in food poses increased cancer risk. The goal is to provide estimates that policymakers can use when developing evidence-based and product-specific standards for arsenic and to assess the benefits of reducing foodborne arsenic exposures.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15903,"journal":{"name":"Journal of food protection","volume":"88 7","pages":"Article 100520"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143983095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
