A message from our VP: Gluten-free standards have evolved over the years and are largely driven by the increased awareness of gluten related disorders such as celiac disease and non celiac gluten sensitivity. Today regulatory standards in the US, Canada and other countries around the world mandate clear labeling of gluten containing ingredients on food packaging. This helps individuals with gluten related disorders identify safe products more easily. The Gluten-Free Food Program (GFFP) endorsed by National Celiac Association helps businesses ensures that products meet and exceed gluten feee standards and gluten-free labeling requirements.

We had a great time and really good interactive sessions with our very talented groups of presenters. Yesterday we covered Biofilms, Viruses, Chemical Safety and a conversation about validating things that are difficult to validate. Today's presenters took a deep dive into dietary supplements, GMP issues, microbial testing and ATP, digitally managing data, hygienic design, and a rich discussion about "making the most of data to make better decisions". The candid screenshot below is from this afternoon's moderated session on "Making the Most of Data to Make Better Decisions: with panelists Carey Bourlett, Scott King, David Hatch, and Justin Larsen. 🎯 A Sneak Peek at Friday's Trivia: What did Justin say that made everyone laugh? 💡 It's not too late to sign up for the Dry Cleaning Workshop tomorrow or other parts of this event.

FATTY LIVER ✓ Fatty liver disease occurs when excess fat accumulates in the liver. This can be due to heavy alcohol use, known as alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD). ✓ When it happens in someone who drinks little or no alcohol, it is called nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). ✓ Many individuals with fatty liver disease don't experience significant symptoms until severe liver damage has occurred. ✓ Early symptoms, if present, are often nonspecific and may include upper right abdominal pain and fatigue. ✓ The primary treatment for fatty liver disease involves lifestyle changes that promote liver health. ✓ If addressed in its early stages, the damage caused by fatty liver disease can be reversed. #fattyliver #NASH #NAFLD #AFLD #life #threatening #hepatitis #JAUNDICE #metabolic #disorders #health #diet #prevention #treatment #food #foodscience #foodtechnology #linkedinconnections #knowledge #FOODTECHNOLOGIST #FSSAI Food Safety and Standards Authority of India FICSI - Food SSC World Health Organization

Feeding Tube Awareness Week highlights the importance of feeding tubes and its impact it has on the lives of millions of people around the world. It also gives the chance to educate others and debunk the myths surrounding tube feeding. Did you know? tube feeding supports on average 40,000 adults and children in the UK. There are two types of feeding. Enteral nutrition where food is delivered via a tube directly into the stomach or small bowel. The other is parenteral nutrition where food is directly put into a vein. #FeedingTubeAwarenessWeek #FeedingTubeAwareness #healthcare

In our blog, Financial Benefits of Certification: Beyond the Gluten-Free Niche we talk about what certification really means for those with celiac disease and how it translates into financial sense for manufacturers. The Lifeline for the Celiac Community Gluten-free certification is a lifeline for the celiac community. Celiac disease isn’t just a food preference; it’s a serious autoimmune condition where ingesting gluten can trigger a range of harmful reactions. Reactions can include digestive issues to long-term health complications. Hence, the importance of gluten-free certification becomes crystal clear – it’s about safety, reliability, and trust. When a product bears that certified label, it signals a safe choice for those with celiac disease, alleviating the constant anxiety of accidental gluten exposure. Financial Benefits: Beyond the Gluten-Free Niche Beyond the essential aspect of consumer safety, gluten-free certification opens up financial benefits for manufacturers. The demand for gluten-free products has skyrocketed, with a growing audience ranging from gluten-sensitive individuals to health-conscious consumers making a lifestyle change.
