Controversies
In September 2012 F&CT was the original journal which published the paper in question in the Séralini affair. In November 2013 the publisher (Elsevier) then retracted it, however, only for it to be republished by Environmental Sciences Europe in June 2014.
In 2022, after a call from the editor for articles on alleged adverse effects of the COVID-19 vaccine, Seneff et al. published a paper alleging various mechanisms for various diseases that the authors intend to link to COVID-19 vaccination. Several scientists have warned of the biases and shortcomings that this article contains.
