ATLANTA, GA — The Center for Produce Safety (CPS) spent a session of their two-day event to delve into the latest developments in ongoing CPS funded research. The symposium gave insights into the future of food safety and the current research being pursued.
Round-up of research in progress:
Daniel Karp, Ph.D., with the University of California-Davis, is examining the prevalence of different wild bird species in agriculture and whether they carry and transmit foodborne pathogens. Karp is also developing a photographic guide to help growers identify birds and the potential food safety risks they may pose.
The project

The findings, reported Monday, Aug. 10, in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of
