Mars Global Food Safety Center’s Post

Nestlé and Mars 🌍 #FoodSafety Powerhouses: Continuing the Dialogue to enable #SafeFoodForAll 🍎 At Mars, we believe that no single entity can address food safety challenges alone, and collaborative, pre-competitive approaches are the key. Last Friday, we were delighted to welcome Alexandre Panchaud PhD MSc and his colleagues from the Nestlé Institute of Food Safety and Analytical Sciences (NIFSAS) to the Mars Global Food Safety Center site in Beijing. It’s no surprise that two organizations dedicated to advancing food safety share so much in common. This visit was an incredible opportunity to exchange ideas, showcase our state-of-the-art research facilities, partnerships, and discuss the critical role of collaboration in tackling global food safety challenges. Our conversations highlighted the shared vision of both Mars GFSC and NIFSAS: advancing science, science-based knowledge transfer, building resilience in the supply chains, and embracing innovative approaches to create safer food systems. This meeting also reinforced a legacy of impactful collaborations, from capability-building initiatives to developing and standardizing cutting-edge detection methods, including #genomics. As we explored new opportunities for pre-competitive collaboration, one message was clear: ensuring safe food for all requires joined efforts. By leveraging our complementary strengths and global networks, we can continue to #raisethebar and drive progress in the industry. This visit marks another step in building bridges between organizations committed to food safety, where collective action and shared knowledge pave the way for a safer future—from farm to fork. #FoodSafety #Collaboration #SafeFoodForAll #Innovation #SupplyChainResilience p.s.: Thank you, Jane Wang, and @Cindy Sun, for upholding this legacy of collaboration and connection on behalf of the GFSC!
