This fully peer-reviewed international journal provides microbiologists, food processors, and food researchers with essential information on microbial food safety.

The Journal of Food Safety encourages submissions of full-length original research articles relating to the following topics: Rapid methods and/or biosensors for detection, identification and enumeration of foodborne pathogens, Novel interventions and technologies to control foodborne pathogens, Bacteriophages or bacteriophage derived compounds as alternative antimicrobials/antibiotics to improve food safety, Novel antimicrobials, Antimicrobial packaging, Food microbiome, Predictive microbiology, and Advances in food safety research on bacteriophage-host interactions.

Book reviews related to the field of food microbiology and food safety are welcome. Review paper topics must receive editor approval prior to submission. Short communications on exceptionally novel research of interest to the international food microbiology community will be considered.
