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]
