"Accelerating the adoption of a Seed Oil Free food supply through trust, transparency, and technology." At the Seed Oil Free Alliance, this mission statement guides our most important decisions and actions. The average American today consumes up to 30% of their daily calories from harmful seed oils. They're used in snacks, ready-to-eat foods, food service offerings, and bottled cooking oils — this public health problem affects everyone. Consumer awareness is already growing, but the issue can be challenging to navigate for brands and their customers alike. That’s where we step in. Our certification process is an exciting new way for brands and their customers to be completely confident in knowing that food offerings are 100% Seed Oil Free, backed by rigorous lab testing and more.

What is the definition of #ultraprocessed? Has that been clearly defined? Most products undergo some degree of processing. Even #consumers do #processing when cooking the food. To discuss impacts of #ultraprocessed foods, we (scientists) need to agree on a definition and then review and rank data in the literature (ideally using the weight of evidence approach). Are we there yet?

#Foodsafety is linked to #ultraprocessedfoods (UPFs) in several ways, influencing both the production and consumption aspects of these products. 👉 What do you think will be the future of ultra-processed foods? 👉 Which is the direction do you think the food of the future will lead? We will discuss about it during Food Revolution 2024 | 21-23 October, but we are also curious to read your thoughts about this topic! #foodsafetycongress #foodinnovation #FoodRevolution2024

The global processed and packaged food sector is seeing significant growth as consumer demand rises for convenience and ready-to-eat options. However, with this expansion comes a growing awareness of food quality and safety. Companies in this industry must prioritize product integrity to meet consumer expectations.   Active packaging solutions play a critical role in preserving processed and packaged foods by: Maintaining Optimal Conditions: Ensures the freshness and safety of food from production to the consumer’s hands. Preserving Quality: Retains the flavor, texture, and nutritional value of processed food items. Preventing Contamination: Safeguards against external contaminants by creating environments that hinder microbial growth. Extending Shelf Life: Reduces spoilage and waste, helping companies minimize losses and ensure consistent product availability. By leveraging active packaging solutions, businesses can enhance the safety, quality, and longevity of processed foods in an increasingly competitive market.   For more insights, follow our page!   #Cilicant #CilicantForProcessedFoods #ActivePackagingSolutions #FoodSafety #ProcessedFoods #PackagingInnovation

It’s one of the latest additions to our portfolio: the Steinecker bioreactor is a system solution developed for the field of alternative food processing. It makes it possible to manufacture new food products like alternative proteins for meat substitutes, and whey and egg proteins.🌱 The clou: The development team used Steinecker’s knowledge of and technology for fermenting beer, combined it with Krones’ aseptic expertise, and adapted it to accomplish the cell-based manufacturing of new food products. The bioreactor’s heart is a circulation system that has already given years of successful service in brewing applications. Now, Steinecker and the Swiss start-up Food Brewer signed a cooperation in order to exploit synergies for their R&D work and market entry plans. ➡️You want to know more?
