Food Safety and Toxicology

This is one of the four major focus areas in the department with education, research and outreach activities conducted by a large number of our faculty. The area is strengthened considerably with close ties to the National Food Safety and Toxicology Center (NFSTC). In addition, there is an opportunity to obtain dual degrees in Food Science and Integrative Toxicology through MSU's Program in Environmental and Integrative Toxicological Sciences.  

Current faculty research emphases focus on agents that affect human and animal health including mycotoxins and other natural products, foodborne disease agents and their toxins, and a variety of nutritional factors. This is clearly an active area of research and education with a significant capacity for career growth.
