ABSTRACT

In addition to the concerns previously expressed about emerging foodborne pathogens, because of the ever-changing nature of the area, food safety is often faced with other new or reemerging issues. Science-based solutions should prevail for such issues; however, it is likely that the road to such solutions is long and tedious. The following discussion regarding issues of HACCP (Hazard Analysis of Critical Control Points), antibiotic resistance, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) provides just a few examples of issues that have challenged, and continue to challenge, scientists in the field.
