FSIS Releases FY25 Research Priorities


FSIS has released its fiscal year (FY) 2025 research priorities, outlining key research needs that support FSIS’ public health mission.

The FY25 priorities reflect data gaps, laboratory method development needs, and research studies that can advance food safety science and inform future policy decisions.

Highlights of the FY25 research priorities include:
  • Eliminate Data Gaps – FSIS has identified critical data gaps, including the need for scientific support for corrective actions following under-processing of meat and poultry patties, effectiveness of pasteurization methods at lower pH levels for liquid egg whites, effectiveness of traditional processes like curing and fermentation in the destruction of Toxoplasma gondii in pork products, and expansion of genomic analysis of pathogen isolates from both clinical and non-clinical sources, beyond existing sources of data.
  • Enhance Laboratory Methods – FSIS identified the need for enhanced methods for allergen detection using Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry, as well as tools to better detect highly virulent strains of Campylobacter in poultry.
  • Proposed Research Studies – FSIS is interested in exploring foodborne illness source attribution for enteric pathogens, particularly their presence in water sources near regulated facilities. FSIS proposes studies focused on antimicrobial resistance, including multidrug-resistant Salmonella Infantis and decreased susceptibility to ciprofloxacin in Salmonella Enteritidis.
The agency encourages researchers, public health experts, and other stakeholders to review the full list of priorities and collaborate on advancing science-based solutions that protect consumers and strengthen America’s food safety system.
