Food Protection Trends - June 2011 - (Page 384)

WHAT’S HAPPENING IN FOOD SAFETY Newly Formed Institute for Food Safety and Health Opens at IIT n April 11, an inaugural launch event marked the National Center for Food Safety and Technology’s (NCFST) transition to a principal operating center within the newly formed Institute for Food Safety and Health (IFSH) at Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) in Bedford Park, IL. The reclassification of the long-time food safety, food defense and nutrition research center to institute status, approved by the IIT Executive Committee on December 8, 2010, better reflects the organization’s expanded scope of research, expertise and new state-of-the-art facilities available to its food industry members and government partners. In recent years, NCFST’s research portfolio and facilities have expanded to include human clinical nutrition studies, health promoting foods research, a virology program, and the FDA-commissioned and certified Biosafety Level 3 (BSL-3) laboratory and pilot plant. “NCFST will serve as a cornerstone of IFSH,” said IFSH Vice President and Director Robert E. Brackett, Ph.D., “providing a strong, consistent and well-established foundation for the expanded IFSH operating framework. This restructuring strongly positions us to better assist the nation’s food companies and regulators with practical, authoritative science-based knowledge, especially in light of new requirements arising from the recent passage of the Food Safety Modernization Act.” NCFST and three other strategically aligned research centers will now operate within the parent IFSH scientific organizational structure to support continued growth, while leveraging NCFST’s leading status as the only center where scientists O from an entire FDA division are colocated with university researchers to work side-by-side on food safety, nutrition and technology research projects. The four IFSH centers: The National Center for Food Safety and Technology will continue to operate under its long-time cooperative agreement between IIT and FDA, focusing on design and performance of a variety of collaborative and cooperative research projects across several focus areas, including microbiology, chemical constituents, allergens, food processing, packaging, methods validation, and nutrition. The Center for Nutrition Research supports the work of the Clinical Nutrition Research Center (CNRC), which conducts human nutrition and clinical research to determine the health benefits of foods and food components in a variety of study areas, including nutrient properties and bioavailability, obesity and satiety, diabetes and cancer risk reduction, and infant and child nutrition. The unit also manages projects related to IFSH's Health Promoting Foods research arm. The Center for Processing Innovation provides expanded process control and process validation capabilities for applied research through IFSH's GMP processing area, kitchen and pilot plant, BSL-2 processing innovation laboratory, fresh produce processing line, and the newly commissioned BSL-3 laboratory and biocontainment pilot plant. The unit also administers education and training services, and other targeted commercial projects. The Center for Specialty Programs administers key specialized programs, including customized laboratory proficiency testing services for all stakeholders. This center manages development and oversight of government project contracts with US FDA, USDA, Department of Homeland Security, and other regulatory agencies associated with food protection and nutrition. In addition, IFSH will continue to offer all graduate degree and professional certificate programs previously administered under NCFST oversight, in cooperation with the IIT Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering and Department of Biological, Chemical, and Physical Sciences.

FSIS Announces Final Rule for Interstate Shipment of Stateinspected Meat and Poultry Products T he U.S. Dept. of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has announced a final rule that will broaden the market for smaller state-inspected plants. By participating in this voluntary cooperative interstate shipment program, select establishments will have the option to ship meat and poultry products, bearing an official USDA mark of inspection, across state lines. “We’re excited to announce this new rule that offers smaller plants the opportunity to expand their market and sell their products to new customers,” said FSIS Administrator Al Almanza. “Allowing these state-inspected establishments to ship their products across state lines has the potential to expand rural development and jobs, increase local tax bases, strengthen rural communities, and ensure that food is safe for consumers.” In participating states, stateinspected establishments selected to take part in this program will be required to comply with all federal standards under the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) and the Poultry Products Inspection Act 384 FOOD PROTECTION TRENDS | JUNE 2011 http://www.iit.edu/ifsh http://www.iit.edu/ifsh
