Global Food Safety Curricula Initiative - Calling on Students

 

 

The Global Food Safety Curricula Initiative (GFSCI) is reaching around the world to harness the power of education in response to continuing concerns about food safety, one of today's most pressing public health priorities. Significant progress has been made towards identifying gaps in food safety curricula, building capacity, and establishing and harmonising core competencies at the university and graduate levels for global application to ensure long-term food safety benefits from the farm to the table.(www.foodsafety.iufost.org)

 

GFSCI Student Community

The GFSCI involves today's food safety professionals ensuring that tomorrow's students receive the training necessary to benefit global food safety. Current students are important to achieving that goal and a GFSCI Student Community Program has been developed to engage them. Reaching the students is challenging and we need your help in inviting them to be a part of the GFSCI.

They will have access to special social media events, GFSCI and IUFoST information, and meetings and activities taking place in your region.

Find the student promotional material here - feel free to download it and share it with food safety students in your region.

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.
