IUFoST working to strengthen food regulatory science
IUFoST is introducing or collaborating with member countries to introduce 3 papers at the meeting of the FAO/WHO Codex Coordinating Committee for North America and the South West Pacific (CCNASWP17) this week, through its disciplinary group GFoRSS. In addition, IUFoST was requested to lead a side event "Supporting the Development of the Food Laboratory Community in the South West Pacific" that took place on Thursday.
Agenda item 3: Update on the methods of analysis of scopoletin in noni fruit juice (submitted by Samoa, with the support of New Zealand, Australia and IUFoST).
Agenda item 4.1: Discussion paper on use of criteria for evaluation and prioritisation to resolve food safety and quality challenges, identified by the region.
Paper developed by New Zealand with support from GFoRSS/IUFoST.
Agenda item 10: Discussion paper on traditional underground oven cooking in the South West Pacific: food safety considerations - Paper prepared to support Vanuatu by Dr. Silvia Dominguez (PARERA - ULAVAL/GFoRSS) and IUFoST/GFoRSS experts.
This last paper may lead to a new area of work under CCNASWP with our possible continued leadership to promote hygienic conditions of food production with a focus on traditional methods of production.
These contributions exemplify IUFoST leadership in contributing effectively to international food standard setting activities.
