‘Food safety is not just a right but a shared responsibility from all stakeholders—academia, industry, government and consumers,” said Science Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.
as he addressed the participants of the Association of Official Analytical Collaboration-Southeast Asia Section’s 3rd Annual Conference on October16 and 17 at a hotel in Muntinlupa City.
Solidum shared with the participants the initiatives of DOST in terms of food safety, such as the 2023-2028 road map, the various testing laboratories, and the guidelines and protocols it has developed. The conference showcased some of the latest technologies that makes methods testing and assessment easier and accurate.
Another technology is on food labelling and histamine testing solution. Because high levels of histamine can cause food poisoning, known as scombroid poisoning that leads to symptoms like headaches, rashes, and gastrointestinal issues, a device that can directly analyse histamine’s presence in food can help.
The Emerging Issues Working Group of AOAC-SEA Section aims to identify and monitor emerging issues to forecast and predict possible food safety risks, and develop appropriate measures to manage the identified risks.
