Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food contaminants and residues pose a threat to human health. Contaminants and residues are present in food, such as mycotoxins, persistent organic pollutants (POPs), heavy metal ions, illegal additives, pesticide residues, and veterinary drug residues, which represent a great threat to the quality and safety of food. With the increasing awareness of health care and food safety, the development of detection technologies to analyse food contaminants and residues is critical. These demands have prompted food-safety-focused researchers to develop advanced analytical technologies for food contaminants and residues. The analysis of the relationship between the formation and effects of food contaminants indicates the importance of food safety.
With this Special Issue, we hope to present the recent developments in using novel detection technologies/nanomaterials to monitor food contaminants and residues, exploring the relationship between the formation and effects of food contaminants to promote the monitoring of food contaminants and residues. We are highly interested in and encourage manuscripts related to the detection of food contaminants and residues. Original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and other article types will be considered.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Foods is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
