Convergence Alimentaire. New research reveals food ingredients most prone to fraudulent economically motivated adulteration. In new research published in the April Journal of Food Science, analyses of the first known public database compiling reports on food fraud and economically motivated adulteration in food highlight the most fraud-prone ingredients in the food supply; analytical detection methods; and the type of fraud reported.
Based on a review of records from scholarly journals, the top seven adulterated ingredients in the database are olive oil, milk, honey, saffron, orange juice, coffee, and apple juice. The database was created by the U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention (USP), a nonprofit scientific organization that develops standards to help ensure the identity, quality and purity of food ingredients, dietary supplements and pharmaceuticals. USP's food ingredient standards are published in the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) compendium. The new database provides baseline information to assist interested parties in assessing the risks of specific products.

South African farmers suffered millions of dollars in lost income when 82,000 hectares of genetically-manipulated corn (maize) failed to produce hardly any seeds. A major UN / World Bank sponsored report compiled by 400 scientists and endorsed by 58 countries concluded that GM crops have little to offer to the challenges of poverty, hunger, and climate change. Better alternatives are available, and the report championed organic farming as the sustainable way forward for developing countries.
10 Food Additives That You're Eating . . . Right . . . Now. Drug-Resistant Staph Linked to Animal Antibiotics. A study published today in MiBio lends further weight to the growing theory that using animal antibiotics in livestock contributes to drug resistance among human bacteria.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, is a strain of Staph that’s resistant to methicillin, a drug in the beta-lactam class of antibiotics, which are used to treat Staph infections in humans. Using a detailed DNA mapping technique, researchers at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) in Arizona were able to trace one of these superbugs – MRSA CC398 – to its origins, discovering that the human strain of this bacteria developed its drug resistance in animals rather than in people.
Often referred to as “pig-MRSA” or “livestock-associated MRSA,” the strain is known to affect humans who have been exposed to live animals, such as farmers or veterinarians. Both of these drugs are crucial for treating human Staph infections, says Dr. . © Food Safety News. ConAgra Sued Over GMO '100% Natural' Cooking Oils.
