May – Food Safety Industry Moments You Might Have Missed
Summary
May 2019 had significant news from FDA, USDA, the World Health Organization, the EU Commission, Food Standards Australia New Zealand, future protein global demand and African Swine Fever. The EU notified the WHO earlier this month of proposed amendments to the regulation on plastic food contact materials to reflect the authorization of new substance poly((R)-3 -hydroxybutyrate -co-(R)-3-hydroxyhexanoate). A recent report commissioned by Food Innovation Australia Limited predicts that that China and India will account for almost 50% of global protein demand by 2025. The plan is being implemented alongside current efforts which involve US Customs and Border Protection, enhanced security measures and collaboration with states, industry and producers to ensure everyone remains aware of on-farm best practices and biosecurity protocols. Current tariffs may mean the US is not benefiting properly, as African Swine Fever continues to impact China, consumers are switching from pork to beef.
