ApproachAuthorYearDescriptionBenefitsLimitations

Study on climate change and food safetyTirado et al. [16]2010This work made a detailed review of the potential effects of predicted changes in climate on food adulteration and food safety at various phases of the food chain and found adaptation strategies and research focus to report food safety allegations of climate changeAuthors addressed the food safety implications of climate change with the help of various adaptation strategies, predictive modeling, and monitoringThe frameworks used to analyze the impacts of climate change on food safety, variability, vulnerability, and adaptation are not discussed in detail

Development of the food safety performance analysisJacxsens et al. [19]2010This work discusses the development of food safety performance indicators (FSPI) for the purpose of obtaining a first indication of the microbiological food safety performance of an implemented food safety management system (FSMS)This is a useful tool to acquire a first sign about the microbiological performance of an implemented FSMSAnalysis of the food safety performance diagnosis for the level of governments or sector organizations is not addressed

Study on future challenges to microbial food safetyHavelaar et al. [20]2010This work deliberates new challenges to food safety that are caused by microorganisms as well as approaches and methodologies to counter these challenges, such as molecular methods for complex food analysisThis work has developed new definitions which are pertaining to food safety and risk framework and discussed the trends and future developments in food safetyExperimental analysis of molecular methods for complex food analysis is not performed

Random parameters logit (RPL) and latent class model (LCM)Ortega et al. [22]2011In this work, measurement of consumer preferences for selecting food safety attributes in pork and food safety risk perceptions are taken into account using RPL and LCMWith the help of RPL and LCM, heterogeneity in consumer preferences is capturedA welfare analysis of the effectiveness of several food safety substantiation mechanisms from a public health viewpoint is not addressed

Statistical analysis of food safety at home using EPIINFO 3.5 statistical programLangiano et al. [27]2012This work tries to outline food safety and risk insight of food-borne diseases in the private home setup and find precise behaviors during food purchase, storage, and preparation in a studyThis work test the relationship between demographic characteristics and knowledge/behaviors of food diseasesDemonstration of statistical analysis is not given, and the number of samples for the study is not large

Application of hyperspectral imaging in food safety inspection and controlFeng and Sun [30]2012This work offers an extensive review of the application of hyperspectral imaging in the determination of physical, chemical, and biological contamination of food productsIt offers fast and nondestructive methods for sensing the safety and control situation of production using hyperspectral imagingWide applications of hyperspectral imaging, such as familiarizing different spectral profiles, that is, NIR, Raman, and fluorescence spectra, are not investigated

Review of formation in food industriesSrey et al. [18]2013This work summarizes the issues of biofilms in food industries and the present and ground-breaking control strategies that have been used to battle the challenges caused by biofilmsThis work briefly discusses biofilm formation and problems in the food industry due to biofilm and biofilm control strategiesThe concepts related to economic and environmentally friendly control strategies are not investigated, which are crucial to satisfy the need for industrial food safety

Review of edible insects from food safety and nutritional perspectiveBelluco et al. [28]2013This work presents a comprehensive study on taking insects as food safety and discusses nutritional factsThis work evaluates how insects are perhaps safely used as food and deliberates nutritional data to justify why insect food sources can no longer be unkemptThe way to reduce exposure to contaminants and achieve a high-quality diet when insects are taken as food is not addressed
Study on impacts of soil and water pollution on food safety and health risksLu et al. [26]2015In this work, soil and water pollution intimidation to food safety in China is discussed, and integrated policies addressing soil and water pollution for accomplishing food safety are recommended to yield a holistic approachThis work clearly investigates the factors influencing food safety and pollutants which affect the sameResolving the issues faced due to heavy metals for food safety is not addressed

Study on the role of hazard and risk-based approaches in ensuring food safetyBarlow et al. [29]2015This work discusses the pros and cons of hazard- and risk-based approaches for ensuring the safety of food chemicals, allergens, ingredients, and microorganismsThis work explores the use of hazard- and risk-based approaches and summarizes the main issues discussed at the International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI) WorkshopDetection of risks for chemicals and uncertainties in risk assessment is not investigated

Study on pesticides, environment, and food safetyCarvalho [17]2017This work studies the major issues linked to pesticide residues, environmental fate, and effects and deliberates pathways for improved food safetyThis work discusses the role of fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture and environmental fate and the effects of pesticide residues and residues in soils and aquatic environments extensivelyAlternative paths to food production, the food production with better quality, and the issues in genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are not addressed

Study on food safety for food securityKing et al. [21]2017This study discusses how present developments and trends related to food safety will influence the food sector and ultimately the ability of the sector to bring food securityThis work details food safety challenges and new demands originating from producers, manufacturers, marketers, retailers, and regulators, which are created by current worldwide trends, including climate change, a growing and aging population, and urbanizationFlexible and responsive approach to addressing food challenges such as global food security is not addressed

Perspectives on food safety in VietnamNguyen-Viet et al. [24]2017This work elaborates on some perspectives on food safety in Vietnam from the point of view of an international research institution doing food safety with partners in the country. This work concludes that the major issue of food safety in Vietnam is that certain food value chain stakeholders lack ethicsThis study investigates good experiences in food safety management from other countries and learning experiences for Vietnam on how to better deal with the current food safety situationThe standard framework and regulations for food safety are not addressed

Review of food safety management systemsPanghal et al. [23]2018The role of study on food safety management system (FSMS) in executing food safety throughout the food production and supply chain is reviewed in this workThis work will be beneficial to industries, technical persons, academicians, researchers, and policy framers for ensuring safe production, distribution, and consumption of foodEntire technical aspects and requirements to implement the FSMS are not discoursed upon
