Food workers play a crucial role in ensuring food safety. Implementing a novel sanitation technology requires workers with the tools and knowledge to feel comfortable using it. A study in the November/December issue of IAFP's Food Protection Trends focuses on potential challenges in the adoption of superheated steam as surface sanitizer equipment for food processing industries.

In 2024, we were selected to participate in the Food Systems 2024 online course. This course is organized by the Dutch Food Partnership and the Wageningen Center for Innovation and Development. It is aimed at professionals active in the field of food and nutrition security, particularly those engaged in programs in low- and middle-income countries. This course aims to provide an approach to systems thinking and systems dynamics applied to agriculture, food value chains, and food and nutrition security. Additionally, it offers skills and tools to transform food systems into innovative, inclusive and sustainable ones.

An exciting read about how the Periodic Table of Food Initiative (PTFI) is revealing the hidden complexity of what’s in the foods we eat. They are going beyond the nutrition label to uncover thousands of biomolecules in food that could have important implications for human and planetary health, and studying how these compounds are impacted by food production and processing. It’s thrilling to be a part of an initiative that is forging the next frontier in nutrition!

UCT #QuEChERS...The #Multiresidue Method of Choice. QuEChERS significantly improves #LaboratoryEfficiency and throughput. A batch of 20 extracts can be prepared in less than 60 minutes by a single analyst. This procedure requires only a few milliliters of solvent and is capable of generating recoveries of 90-110% with RSD’s < 5% for a wide range of GC and LC amenable compounds. Matrices include: • animal products--meat, fish, kidney, chicken, milk, honey • cereals and grain products • food products--wines, juices, fruit and vegetables Learn more about UCT QuEChERS: https://lnkd.in/d7HnB3rg Learn more about UCT's ChloroFiltr®: https://lnkd.in/dbc5R3Pp Ask UCT a QuEChERS question: methods@unitedchem.com UCT / When Results Matter PerkinElmer Food Safety and Quality Eurofins Food & Water Testing UK & IE Eurofins Food Testing Australia Kaycha Labs Center for Food Safety California Department of Pesticide Regulation French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) Sigma Analytical Services Labofine: a Tentamus Company Cocojune Products RAAX Food Testing & Calibration Laboratory IEH Laboratories and Consulting Group Food Safety Magazine UGA Center for Food Safety Molecular Biosciences Department Nebraska Food Science and Technology Wageningen University & Research CFANS | U of M College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences University of Florida College of Agricultural and Life Sciences Virginia Tech Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics

🍽️ Next up in my series of academic publications this year is work with Logan Britton, Ph.D. on substitution effects of PBMAs with animal based proteins. This work also expands on experimental designs that I have been developing and expanding on the past few years. Are plant-based meat alternatives (PBMAs) replacing traditional meats, or are they just sharing the plate? Our latest research, “Are all meats substitutes? A basket-and-expenditure-based approach” published in Agribusiness, dives into the evolving relationship between animal-based meats and PBMAs. Using a cutting-edge basket-and-expenditure-based choice experiment (BEBCE), we found some subtle insights: 🔑 Key Takeaways: • PBMAs are usually substitutes but complements for many animal-based meats, often coexisting in consumers’ shopping baskets. • Environmental and dietary beliefs significantly influence the adoption of PBMAs, with health-conscious and eco-aware consumers leading the way. • Price matters: For PBMAs and animal-based meats that are complements, using targeted pricing strategies that look at both products in tandem could increase PBMA market share. • Policy implications: Clear labeling, education on environmental benefits, and strategic pricing can help PBMAs position themselves as viable alternatives to animal proteins. Consumer preference are extremely nuanced and effective marketing and pricing must take that into account if PBMAs want to increase their market share.
