Global Food Safety Curricula Initiative Update: Engaging the World

The Global Food Safety Curricula Initiative (GFSCI) is reaching around the world to generate information to assist in the development of a global food safety curricula.

610 Scientific Articles Confirm Safety of Food and Feeds derived from Genetically Modified Crops

 

ChileBio published a listing of scientific papers which have evaluated the safety of foods derived from GM crops. As of this writing, there are already 610 articles published in peer-reviewed journals. Analysis of the published articles along with tests required by countries regulating GM crops represent evidence that the global scientific community can use to support that foods derived from GM crops are safe to human and animal consumption.

 

History of Ethnic Foods in USA

In recent years, a dramatic increase in the demand for ethnic foods in the United States has been observed. Despite a more than 200-year history of ethnic foods in the USA, there is a paucity of information about them. A paper published in Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety provides an overview of ethnic foods, including the history, types, popularity, characteristics, ingredients, and consumer attitudes toward them.

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.
