Aflatoxins are toxic by-products of fungi contaminating maize and other crops; they can
be carried over into milk, meat and eggs when livestock eat aflatoxin-contaminated feed
or fodder. People who consume such animal products are exposed to the toxins. To assess
the aflatoxin contamination statu...

Risk factors associated with Salmonella spp. prevalence along smallholder pig value chains in Vietnam
Food-borne disease is a major public health issue in Vietnam. The contamination of popular foods can occur all along the food value chain. It is important to understand how and where food safety issues arise to mitigate and prevent food-borne diseases. Risk-based approach is a tool for managing f...

Risk-based approach for food safety applied to pork value chain in Vietnam
In Vietnam, pork accounts for 75% of total meat consumed
daily at households. However, pork may contain high levels of
microbial contamination such as Salmonella and Escherichia coli
which might cause harm to consumers. To determine microbial
contamination along the pork value chain, we collected...

Food borne diseases (FBD) are an increasing global public health concern with
estimated 1 in 10 people falling ill every year from eating contaminated food causing
420,000 deaths. Diarrheal diseases accounted for more than half of the global
burden with children at especial risk (WHO 2015). Evide...

Every year, 2 billions of diarrhea cases occur for all age groups (WHO, 2010) and currently 700,000 children under five die from this illness (Walker et al., 2013). Animal-source foods provide nutrition but are a major cause of such food-borne diseases (FBDs). FBDs include other, non-diarrheal se...
