Food and Chemical Toxicology is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering aspects of food safety, chemical safety, and other aspects of consumer product safety. It is published by Elsevier and was established in 1963. The editor-in-chief is Bryan Delaney.[1]

Abstracting and indexing

The journal is abstracted and indexed in Analytical Abstracts, BIOSIS Previews, CAB International, Chemical Abstracts Service, Current Contents/Agriculture, Biology & Environmental Sciences, Current Contents/Life Sciences, Elsevier BIOBASE, EMBASE, MEDLINE/PubMed, Science Citation Index, and Scopus. According to the Journal Citation Reports, it has a 2014 impact factor of 2.895, ranking it 30th out of 87 journals in the category "Toxicology"[2] and 14th out of 123 journals in the category "Food Science & Technology".[3]

Controversies

In September 2012 F&CT was the original journal which published the paper in question in the Séralini affair.[4] In November 2013 the publisher (Elsevier) then retracted it, however,[5] only for it to be republished by Environmental Sciences Europe in June 2014.[6]

In 2022, after a call from the editor for articles on alleged adverse effects of the COVID-19 vaccine,[7] Seneff et al. published a paper alleging various mechanisms for various diseases that the authors intend to link to COVID-19 vaccination.[8] Several scientists have warned of the biases and shortcomings that this article contains.[9][10][11][12]
