Food and agricultural nonprofit organizations (FANOs) are a critical part of the food supply chain, requiring evaluation of their food safety assurance within the production, preparation, and distribution of food. An article in the July/August 2024 issue of Food Protection Trends provides an overview of literature and policy surrounding food safety in nonprofit organizations, particularly FANOs, and proposes opportunities and challenges in FANO research.

With the emergence of clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (AIV) infection of dairy cattle and its subsequent detection in raw milk, coupled with recent AIV infections affecting dairy farm workers, experiments were conducted to affirm the safety of cooked ground beef related to AIV because such meat is often derived from cull dairy cows. Results from the data established that levels of infectious AIV are substantially reduced within inoculated ground beef patties (20% fat) using recommended cooking procedures. Read this article, "Inactivation of Avian Influenza Virus Inoculated into Ground Beef Patties Cooked on a Commerical Open-Flame Gas Grill," in the August 2024 issue of IAFP's Journal of Food Protection. #burgers #foodsafety #IAFP
