3.3 How can we reliably and consistently assess the health and/or sustainability impacts associated with food products and processes?
Background
Food innovation and bringing to market new foods and technological developments have the potential to add variety to our diets and address some of the challenges facing the food production system today. There is a need to understand the safety, and in some cases, efficacy, of these new products or technologies to ensure consumers have access to safe food innovation.
The overarching aim of this research priority is to understand the safety of these regulated food and feed products and emerging food innovations for the UK consumer.
