@ScreenFood project consortium launches invitation to all interested stakeholders to get involved in the project activities. #Stakeholders are key to the success of the project and the effective implementation of its results. Project stakeholders are invited to: - Participate in project meetings and workshops, visit NMIs for knowledge exchange, training and discussion of project results; - Contribute with knowledge, best practices, peer reviews and share industry perspectives; - Disseminate project results through their networks and raise awareness; Support the implementation of the results. The project will also establish a Stakeholder Committee of 10-15 key stakeholders. For more information, see the project website (link in the comments). If you're interested in becoming a stakeholder and a potential member of the Stakeholder Committee, please register using the form below. https://lnkd.in/dRye_94a

When it comes to developing dairy powders that consumers love, our Principal Research Technologist, Rachel Traill, knows that people are the key to unlocking the next big thing. Based at the Fonterra Research and Development Centre (FRDC), Rachel uses sensory insights to understand what consumers want from their everyday milk powder and helps drive product development.

A dairy product manufacturer needed to modify a product formulation to reduce costs, but to do this, they needed data to verify quality and safety. Plus, they needed the data ASAP. So, our Food Safety Net Services (FSNS) Lab+ team went to work. The manufacturer wanted to challenge several aspects of the formulation for pathogen risk, so we custom-designed a protocol that challenged the formulation’s moisture, pH, salt levels, and other parameters. Our team handled everything from study design to implementation to results reporting. The result? On-time delivery of data that verified safety and quality, allowing the company to expand their product portfolio and boost revenue!

🌟 Join us to build the UK's First Expert Network for Novel Foods Regulatory Challenges! 🌟 The Supplant Company and RSSL have recently won an Innovate UK Discovery Grant to explore setting up this Expert Network and would like to invite you to join us on this journey. If you are involved with Novel Foods, we would value your insights and inputs. Navigating the regulatory landscape for introducing innovative food ingredients can be challenging, particularly when business operators face knowledge gaps in both regulatory and scientific requirements. Recognising this, we're committed to bridging this gap by creating a collaborative network equipped with the necessary resources and tools to guide companies through the complexities of the regulatory journey up until the point of submission. We would like to understand the challenges you have been facing, so that your insights and areas for improvement can be considered when building the Network. The survey can be accessed here.  https://lnkd.in/em6tPbRn It will take you no more than 10 minutes to complete. Closing date is 26th April 2024. Stay tuned for more opportunities to get involved. Your contribution matters!  #ExpertNetwork #NovelFoods #RegulatoryChallenges #UKRI #Collaboration #Innovation #FoodIndustry #GetInvolved
