Food Professor: A.I. and the future of food safety

The cyclospora outbreak continues to spread in the United States as more contaminated food is consumed. Food Professor Sylvain Charlebois discusses how artificial intelligence could strengthen food safety systems, improve traceability, and help detect contamination risks before outbreaks grow. Dr. Sylvain Charlebois, better known as ‘The Food Professor,’ is Senior Director at Agri-Food Analytics Lab and Professor of Faculties of Management and Agriculture at Dalhousie University. He joins Weekends with Joanne Vrakas every Saturday at 7:10 a.m. to discuss everything from fluctuations in grocery prices to food trends.
