Title: Advancing food safety behavior with AI: Innovations and opportunities in the food manufacturing sector
Authors: Ke Wang, Miranda Mirosa, Yakun Hou and Phil Bremer
Type: Journal Article
Journal: Trends in Food Science & Technology
Publication Date: July 2025
Overview:
This article explores how artificial intelligence (AI) can strengthen food safety behaviours and regulatory compliance by enhancing three core functions: monitoring, evaluation, and action. AI-assisted monitoring systems may enable accurate observation of practices such as hand hygiene and PPE compliance. AI-driven evaluation tools, including advanced analytics and large language models, can generate meaningful insights into food safety culture. AI-enabled interventions such as real-time feedback and personalised training, support behavioural improvement. Together, these elements form a continuous improvement cycle. The article also addresses implementation challenges, including technical, ethical, and organisational considerations, and outlines future directions for responsible AI adoption in food systems.
