In the spirit of ongoing knowledge-sharing and community-building, we're making some exciting new changes to the way we bring Food Safety Magazine feature articles to our audience. 

From October onward, eMagazine features will be published directly to our website on a rolling, weekly basis, rather than released all at once in a single issue. Articles will still be listed under a bimonthly Features Collection, accessible here, as they are published. 

We're making this change for important reasons. To better meet our readers where they are, we're answering your calls for speed of information, web-first agility, and easier interaction with our content. Publishing feature articles on a weekly basis will allow us to bring technical information on need-to-know topics to you faster, in a more easily accessible format. 

The scope of our feature articles remains the same—expert-authored, in-depth content designed to advance the knowledge and expertise of food safety and quality professionals worldwide. Access to all website content, including features, will continue to remain completely free with a web registration.

If you're already signed up to receive the eMagazine, there's nothing more you need to do. Starting in October, you'll receive an email at the end of each month with a summary of the latest features we've published, along with links to access them. We hope you'll consider bookmarking our Features Collection landing page so you can check back for new articles as they're released weekly. 

We know change can be a little confusing at first, which is why we'll be rolling out additional information on our website and in our newsletter (subscribe to that if you don't already!) about how you can continue to access all the valuable features content on our website. We don't want you to miss out on anything! 

As long as we're talking FOMO, it's no surprise that AI is rapidly changing the internet, which greatly affects publishers of technical, science-based content like us. If you want to keep seeing Food Safety Magazine in your Google search results, please consider setting us as a preferred source by following this link.

We look forward to bringing you our timely, expert-authored feature articles in a web-first format starting in October!
