Literature and Information Review

Scientific literature holds a wealth of knowledge to support food safety programs. A literature search provides valuable information regarding the potential microbial, chemical, and physical hazards associated with a specific food matrix, technology, process, or environment.

We offer expert Literature and Information Review services for a deep search and review of scientific literature and regulatory information. Our access to hundreds of bibliographic databases and journals allows our research services to go beyond a typical web search. The searches are performed by an information expert with more than 15 years of experience researching scientific literature and North American regulations.

Typically, our scientific literature research service provides a written summary of the available literature, including references and, if applicable, links to full-text documents. A regulatory research project will typically result in a written report concerning a regulatory issue related to a specific food or ingredient.
