Dr. Delia Rodriguez-Amaya was among ten speakers chosen at the recent world congress to give their advice and perspective on what makes a great leader, on how to succeed, and on how they were able to persevere and become the success they are today.

Dr. Rodriguez-Amaya, the IUFoST Academy President-Elect, said: “You should be someone who is both productive and pleasurable to work with. Have the humility to go work in a lower position first before going to the top.”

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.
