USDA-FSIS Announces Food Safety Research Priorities

Posted on December 20, 2017
  • USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) regulates the production of meat, poultry, and egg products. As part of its FY 2017-2021 Strategic Plan to promote food safety and public health, FSIS has developed a listing of its top food safety research areas of interest. Key research priorities include:
    • Investigate and/or develop emerging screening technologies to reduce time for detection.
    • Investigate and/or develop emerging screening technologies for enhanced subtype/virulence characterization of pathogens
    • Investigate and/or develop emerging screening technologies to provide multi-analyte detection from a single analytical sample portion
    • Investigate and/or develop emerging screening technologies which are applicable to FSIS regulated products (meat, poultry, egg products and foods containing these products).
  • To see the complete listing of the Agency’s food safety research priorities click here.
  • The enumerated research priorities may be useful to researchers who are preparing grants for submission to agencies that fund food safety research (e.g., USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (http://www.nifa.usda.gov), National Institutes of Health (http://www.nih.gov), Grants.gov (http://www.grants.gov)), or researchers with resources to conduct such research.  The results of any research may, of course, ultimately influence USDA’s regulatory approach to achieving its food safety goals going forward.
