The food research community in Australia and internationally has lost one of its most esteemed members following the death of Jack Kefford at the age of 95.

Jack Kefford was a Fellow of AIFST, the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering, the International Academy of Food Science and Technology, and an Honorary Fellow of the UK and New Zealand Institutes of Food Science and Technology, and a mentor to many younger food scientists and technologists. He was a caring individual concerned for the welfare of others, who sacrificed his own research output for the overall benefit of the organisation.

45th Annual Conference of the Australian Institute of Food Science and Technology Adelaide, South Australia, 15-18 July 2012

"Food Science and Technology Expertise Vital in the fight against hunger"

"World hunger, food security and food safety issues cannot be solved without food scientists and technologists. Governmental and international bodies working to improve conditions nationally and globally need the help of food scientists to reduce waste, improve nutrition and secure enough food for all. To ignore the importance of this scientific discipline is to reduce the effectiveness of current and prospective programs for food, health and wellness, food safety and food security."

FOOD FRAUD PREVENTION

John Spink, PhD
Summary
Food Fraud – and the focus on prevention – is an important and evolving food industry focus. Even though the vast majority of these incidents do not have a health hazard in some ways they are more dangerous because the substances and actions are unknown and untraceable.  The types of food fraud stretch the traditional role of food science and technology to include criminology, supply chain traceability and other control systems. The food authenticity and integrity testing will be the most complex actions and their value should be assessed in terms of the contribution to prevention. This Scientific Information Bulletin (SIB) presents an introduction, review of incidents, the fundamentals of prevention which then provide insight on the optimal role of Food Science and Technology.
See IUFoST SIBS below for the complete Food Fraud Prevention Scientific Information Bulletin.
