Synopsis

Despite sustained efforts by governments and the food industry, enteric foodborne diseases remain a global public health concern, contributing significantly to disease burden and mortality. Although some major pathogens have shown stable incidence rates in recent years, others continue to emerge or increase in prevalence, posing ongoing challenges to food safety systems. Emerging risks are being driven by shifts in consumer behavior, globalization of food trade, advances in processing technologies, and population aging. In a new era of food safety, underpinned by a risk-based approach, omics data and quantitative tools are promising assets to combat enteric foodborne diseases. This Special Issue contains original manuscripts presenting novel approaches for the detection, control, and prevention of enteric foodborne microorganisms. Some manuscripts also combined quantitative and molecular methods to study the emergence and reemergence of foodborne pathogens. Contributions applying quantitative risk assessment approaches, supported by computational tools, to explore microbial food safety issues in greater depth were also welcomed.
