Foodborne Pathogens: Risks and Consequences - CAST - The Council for Agricultural Science and Technology

CAST papers are the foundation of CAST’s science communication work. Developed by expert-led task forces, these peer-reviewed publications translate agricultural science into trusted insights that inform policy, guide public understanding, and fuel CAST programs, dialogues, and educational initiatives.
