Current Situation Foodborne illness is a major health issue facing Americans. Between 6.5 million and 81 million cases of foodborne illness and as many 9,100 related deaths occur annually. Millions of illnesses and thousands of deaths in the United States can be traced to contaminated food. Illnesses from pathogenic bacteria appear to be increasing each year. The economic devastation of this disease is considerable, with an estimated $420 spent on direct medical costs and $7.3 billion attributed to lost productivity annually. Americans expect many things from their food supply. They want variety and quality; and they want nutritious, safe foods at a reasonable cost. The definition of good quality can be varied depending upon the type of food and the individual's food preference. Some of the important characteristics of quality include wholesomeness, freshness, nutritional value, texture, color, aroma and flavor. To many consumers, safe food means that there will be no danger from pathogenic microorganisms, naturally occurring toxins and other potentially harmful chemicals which may be deliberately added to foods. However, scientists generally agree that microorganisms pose a greater threat to human health than other sources of foodborne illnesses. Foods don't cause illness; bacteria and other pathogens do. However, raw foods of animal origin - meat, poultry, eggs, fish, shellfish - frequently are contaminated with bacteria common in the food chain. In other cases, healthy food handlers may contaminate food with bacteria common in the human body, or diseased food handlers may contaminate food with lesser common pathogens.

Scientific advances in food quality and safety
Food Science at Newforge Lane, Belfast.
Research Food safety concerns us all as the number of reported food poisoning incidences continues to increase. Consequently the bacteria responsible for these outbreaks, including Salmonella, Campylobacter, Escherichia coli 0157 and Listeria monocytogenes, are gaining notoriety! The food industry has two pressing needs with regard to confirming the presence of these foodborne pathogens: speed and sensitivity. An approach based on measuring the effect of bacteria on the impedance of the growth medium (known as RABIT - Rapid Automated Bacterial Impedance Technique) has been developed for use with Salmonella. Impedance microbiology detects microbial growth as it happens, rather than retrospectively as is the case with conventional microbiology. This procedure allows rapid sample screening. Other microbiological research areas include: The quality of food and food products is also a topic of great interest. Research teams are studying the microbiology and chemistry of food quality.

Food Safety Research
Microorganisms are of significance in food systems because they have both adverse and beneficial effects - they can cause spoilage and illness, but they are also used to produce a variety of foods through fermentation.
At Virginia Tech, food microbiology research is concerned with basic and applied studies of foodborne pathogens, microbiological spoilage, prevention and control of contamination during processing, thermal and non-thermal processing, and method development to detect microorganisms and their toxins.
Recently, food safety research has focused on control of major foodborne pathogens in primary agriculture production and processing through the application of new and traditional processing technologies, antimicrobials, sanitation, HACCP based strategies and analytical methodology.

    UConn Food Science Extension A primary goal of the Cooperative Extension System is to assist the food industry with solving its problems and helping with its concerns. In addition, we want to contribute to the positive development of the Connecticut food industry. In the past, we have helped meat, poultry and seafood processors meet HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) regulations, and provided training and testing programs to help foodservice workers comply with the Qualified Food Operator requirements. We have also offered training and conferences to update regulators and the food industry. I can envision several projects we may undertake:
    • Long term general food improvement programs Short courses and seminars Fostering student interests in the field of food science Food safety programs Increasing communication of current research, technologies and methods via websites, newsletters, or publications.
    The UConn Food Science group brings together faculty from the Departments of Nutritional Sciences, Animal Science, Pathobiology, and Cooperative Extension to provide students with educational opportunities in food chemistry, food microbiology, and food engineering and processing. Our emphasis is to coordinate the study of physical, microbiological, and chemical composition of food along with methods for food processing, preservation, packaging, and storage which will improve microbiological quality and safety, according to the specifications and regulations of industry and government.

    ASSURING RETAIL FOOD EXCELLENCE WORLDWIDE THROUGH INDUSTRY SELF-CONTROL
    We make FOOD SAFETY a profitable investment. HITM is a consulting and education company that promotes correct and operationally effective food science safety and quality knowledge and application using its HACCP-TQM program based on FDA and USDA regulations and HACCP science. We help food manufacturers and retail food operators establish and improve quality assurance, customer satisfaction, and operational efficiency and profits through improved recipe operations. The Institute's president, Dr. O. Peter Snyder, Jr., has educated thousands of executives, owners, chefs, employees, and home food preparers in recipe hazard analysis and self-control procedures for producing safe food. He has also consulted with numerous national corporations and local programs. By beginning with the science of the recipe, Dr. Snyder is striving to have one set of science-based food safety rules for everyone to use in retail food operations and the home. He does HACCP research to help operators establish and assure the quality and safety of their recipes. Founded by Dr. Snyder in 1983, HITM provides its clients with the latest food safety and quality information, and keeps them updated on changes in regulatory standards. HITM offers regularly scheduled HACCP training and certification courses. The Institute also offers numerous products that aid in food safety education and provide monitoring for correct food preparation (e.g., thermometers, pH meters and test strips, microbiological test kits, etc.).

    Welcome
    Welcome to the online Professional Master of Science in Food Safety Program. It is a pleasure to announce the initiation of a program that has been in steady development for more than two years with input from active food chain participants representing production through public health and including local, state, national and international aspects of food safety. The goal of the program is to provide an educational opportunity for future leaders in industry and government who are assuming or desiring additional food safety responsibilities. You will find it to be an overarching trans-disciplinary, and interactive program targeting students from diverse backgrounds with previous career experience. Our class size is limited and our faculty are drawn from a wide range of colleges at Michigan State University representing agriculture, communication, human medicine, sociology, natural science and veterinary medicine. A very important addition to the faculty will be internationally recognized guest contributors made possible through the advent of online programming.
