Research summary
AI-generated

Yaohua Feng's research focuses on food safety, particularly how consumers understand, communicate, and practice safe food handling, including home food processing (like drying nuts, apples, and mushrooms), online and social media food safety information, and educational programs. Recent work also examines the reliability of AI chatbots for food safety advice and how consumer behavior around food safety shifted during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research combines consumer surveys, content analysis of online media, laboratory pathogen studies, and educational program evaluation.
