202015 Financial Snapshot
From the President
One of ILSI’s strengths is its ability to pool
financial and human resources so we can
achieve more with less, and each year I am
incredibly impressed with how much our
organization accomplishes. 2016 was no
different; dedicated staff, member volunteers,
and science advisors organized just under
300 scientific meetings and produced
120 scientific publications.
I want to draw your attention to a few
accomplishments.
Peter van Bladeren, PhD
ILSI President
We launched a new, enhanced and greatly
improved website. Good communication of
ILSI’s mission and our contributions to the
scientific community remains a priority. The
website is the central resource for finding
information about our scientific outputs, our
impact on health and safety, and our operating
principles for achieving our mission. The new
site is reorganized and streamlined and has
an eye-catching new designed that is mobileready; i.e., it is compatible for use on tablets
and smart phones which account for
an increasing share of devises used by people
visiting our site. I am pleased to say we are
averaging about 13,000 website visitors each
month, which is approaching our goal of
15,000 per month.
In addition to communication, collaboration is
essential to what ILSI is as an organization and
to our success. I am pleased to recognize our
branches in Asia for being leaders in crossgeography collaboration. In 2016, ILSI Focal
Point in China, ILSI Japan, and ILSI Korea held
their 8th BeSeTo (Beijing – Seoul – Toyko)
meeting, which now regularly includes ILSI
Southeast Asia Region and ILSI Taiwan.
I am very excited to say this One ILSI spirit of
cooperation is spreading. For the first time,
ILSI branches in Latin America organized a joint
annual meeting at which they debated their
shared vision for the region and prioritized topics
on which they will work collectively.
I encourage you to read about both
examples of ILSI’s commitment to setting
and working toward common goals on
page 12 of this annual report.
There are many other descriptions of our
success in 2016 in this report. It is, however,
only a snapshot. I encourage you to visit the
new ILSI website for a more complete view
of our work and impact at www.ilsi.org.
2016 was not without its challenges. Activists
continue to criticize scientific partnerships that
involve private sector actors and industry-funded
science. It is unfair to be sure, but it serves as a
reminder for us to remain true to our mission,
maintain the highest levels of transparency, and
be ready to defend our integrity.
Fortunately, 2016 offered more opportunities
than it did constraints. The Board of Trustees,
staff leadership, and I have enjoyed working on
our strategic goals to optimize the structure and
function of the organization, particularly the ILSI
parent entity. It is difficult but rewarding work
to envision what ILSI can be in ten years’ time
and beyond, and to develop the framework
that will allow us to adapt and flourish in the
coming years. I want to thank all of those who
contributed to this effort in 2016 and I look
forward to sharing a range of recommendations
with all of you in 2017.

ILSI Annual Report 2016
From the Chair
It is an honor to serve as Chair of the ILSI
Board of Trustees. I enjoy engaging with
fellow trustees, members and sciences
advisors at-large, and staff on our common
goal to see ILSI thrive. I feel especially
privileged to work with colleagues on
the Board and staff leadership to envision
what ILSI can and should be now and into
the future.
The effort we put into defining ILSI involved
my own coming to understand what ILSI
means to me as a scientist. Why do I, and so
many others like me, willingly volunteer our
time to help ILSI succeed? Yes, of course,
I believe in the organization’s mission to
improve the human condition through science.
It is more than this, however. It is also how we
achieve the mission.
First there is collaboration.
Last year in this space, I wrote ILSI has a
challenge: a challenge to be the best, most
transparent public-private partnership (PPP)
it could be, even in, or perhaps especially in,
an environment when PPPs are viewed with
suspicion. Many of us who associate with ILSI
are criticized for partnering with our scientific
counterparts in industry. Our integrity is
questioned because of ILSI’s corporate
funding. However, this very collaboration,
which is done transparently, improves the
scientific process.
I am involved with ILSI because I can exchange
scientific perspectives with people from
other academic institutions, industry, and
government agencies in a respectful, neutral
forum. We may not always agree with each
other, but we always listen and learn from
each other. Our cooperation leads to better
scientific outcomes.
understood for science to inform culturally
appropriate solutions. Through ILSI’s
international network of dedicated scientists
and staff, we are more closely connected than
we otherwise would be.
I am involved with ILSI because I am enriched
by the insights experts from throughout the
Americas, Asia, Africa, and Europe bring to
ILSI’s attention. I see the challenges facing
human and environmental health in local and
regional context and I recognize opportunities
to resolve them in context because of ILSI.
Science is translated into solutions.
We come to the ILSI table with different
interests. Industry wants to make safe, effective
products. Governments want to ensure the
health and safety of their citizens. Academic
researchers want to foster innovation. The
sharing of perspectives and experiences that
takes place at the ILSI table leads to better
decision making.
Alan Boobis, OBE
Chair
International Life
Science Institute
Board of Trustees
I am involved with ILSI because people with
different needs still share common interests
and concerns. I am rewarded to see science
used by people with these diverse needs to
develop and implement solutions that help
improve human and environmental health and
well-being.
Serving as Chair of the ILSI Board of Trustees
and my many years of previous collaboration
with ILSI before that, have been extremely
gratifying. I hope all of us, and particularly
public-sector scientists, appreciate the role we
play in this dynamic, important institution, even
when – especially when – our contribution to it
is challenged.

Chair, ILSI Board of Trustees
Collaboration is done on an international scale.
Issues of science and health do not respect
political boundaries. However, local and

Risk Science and Toxicology
ILSI conducts clinical
research and translates
science into practical tools
that help protect the health
of the environment, ensure
the safety of our food
and water supplies, and
demonstrate the safety
and efficacy of drugs and
consumer products.
Quality of Life During
and After Cancer
Established by HESI in
February 2016, the THRIVE
Network began a first-ofits-kind seed grant program
focused on improving quality
of life for cancer patients and
survivors. Friends of Cancer
Research (Friends) and the
National Patient Advocate
Foundation (NPAF) joined
HESI in the initiative to make
quality of life an active research
priority for cancer patients and
survivors. The HESI, Friends,
and NPAF partnership brings
together a collective 65 years
of organizational experience in
improving the lives of cancer
patients and survivors through
innovative and effective
research, outreach, and
educational programs.
THRIVE brings together
patients, clinicians, basic
researchers, drug developers,
and government scientists to
define and reduce immediate
and long-term adverse
effects from cancer therapy.
The THRIVE partners are
committed to creating an
active forum to enhance
understanding of the causes
of treatment-related adverse
effects both during treatment
and in years following, and to
enhance the options available
to patients to ensure that they
can both survive and thrive.

ILSI Annual Report 2016
In October 2016, US Vice
President Joe Biden released
a final report on the Cancer
Moonshot Task Force,
which names THRIVE as a
participant in the Moonshot
program to achieve a
decade’s worth of progress in
preventing, diagnosing, and
treating cancer in five years.
Using High-Throughput
Screening for Chemical
Safety in the Food Supply
Thousands of chemicals
are directly and indirectly
added to food to enhance
and preserve taste and
appearance and to prevent
spoilage. Advances in
molecular and cellular
biology, testing technologies,
and computational toxicology
have paved the way for
animal-free (in vitro), highthroughput screening (HTS)
that can characterize chemical
interactions with highly
specific biological processes
rapidly and efficiently. The
US Environmental Protection
Agency’s ToxCast HTS
program, for example,
has examined over 3,000
chemicals to assess their
bioavailability in vitro.
Cooperation on ERA among the ILSI Research Foundation, ILSI Japan, and ILSI Korea started in
2011. Events in 2016 highlight the ability of ILSI organizations to engage in long-term, cooperative
programs to help improve ERA policies, procedures, and practice at the local and regional level.
In 2016, ILSI North America
published the results
of a study evaluating
1,530 food-related chemicals
across hundreds of in vitro
assays. Their large-scale
analyses took a significant
step toward characterizing the
bioavailability of food-related
chemicals, which, in part,
helps prioritize chemicals for
further safety evaluation. In
addition to publishing their
data, researchers presented
their findings at scientific
meetings and conducted
training webinars on using
ToxCast HTS in food-related
chemical evaluations.
Sharing of Perspectives
on ERA
The ILSI Research Foundation,
ILSI Japan, and ILSI Korea
hosted a set of events
in 2016 furthering their
longstanding collaboration
on environmental risk
assessment (ERA). The
focus of these events was
ERA under conditions of
low exposure, such as
those experienced during
importation of food and
animal feed.
In Korea, speakers from the
United States and Australia
highlighted the importance
of problem formulation in low
exposure risk assessment.
Representatives from the
Korean Rural Development
Administration provided
context (history, current
practice, and regulatory
considerations) for how
problem formulation can
enhance Korea’s efforts.
In Japan, a symposium
and workshop involving
representatives from the
Ministry of Agriculture,
Forestry and Fisheries
addressed endpoints for
ERA, collection of data,
and concepts of data
transportability.

Real World Solutions –
GE Mosquitos
The ILSI Research Foundation
and the Foundation for the
National Institutes of Health
co-organized a workshop to
develop a more informed
understanding of plausible
risks associated with the
use of genetically modified
mosquitos to control mosquitoborne diseases, and to make
recommendations about the
research needed to address
those risks. International experts
on the biology of Anopheles
mosquitoes, gene technology,
and biosafety came from Brazil;
Burkina Faso; India; Kenya;
Mali; Mexico; the Netherlands;
United Kingdom; United States;
Switzerland; and Tanzania.
In a pre-Olympics workshop,
ILSI Brasil addressed a variety
of health and safety concerns
of interest to athletes and
international visitors, including
the high-profile, mosquitoborne Zika virus. Experts from
the University of São Paolo
provided an overview of
national efforts to introduce
GE mosquitos to control the
spread of Zika.
5
Food Safety
ILSI’s food and water
safety programs
contribute to better
prevention, detection, and
response to intentional
and unintentional
contamination of our food
and water systems.
Food Safety in Taiwan
ILSI Taiwan’s programs on
food safety risk science and
assessment are designed to
help ensure all Taiwanese
people have access to
safe, nutritious food. To
achieve this, the branch
fosters public-private
sector exchange of ideas
on the science underlying
current risk assessment,
risk management, and risk
communication practices.
It encourages a multisector
exploration of the potential
of new risk assessment
methods.
The focus of ILSI Taiwan’s
2016 Annual Meeting
reinforced the branch’s
commitment to using the
latest science to strengthen
the safety of Taiwan’s
food supply. Prof Junshi
Chen, chair of the Codex
Committee on Food
Additives and executive
director of ILSI Focal
Point in China, was the
keynote speaker.
Additional presentations
were given by experts from
the Taiwan Food and Drug
Administration, the National
Health Research Institutes,
and several universities.
Dr. Pinpin Lin, National
Health Research Institutes,
featured ILSI HESI’s RISK21
approach to risk assessment
in her presentation on hazard
vs. risk.
6
ILSI Annual Report 2016
Within the ILSI network,
ILSI Taiwan is a leader in
communication and actively
promotes candid, transparent
scientific discussion with
members of the media.
This was demonstrated
by Prof Kuei-Jung Ni,
Institute of Technology Law
of National Chiao Tung
University, who provided
a unique perspective on
communication in his
presentation “Speaking Law
to Scientists.”
The branch hosts several
press conferences each
year at which journalists,
science and health writers,
and food and technology
bloggers engage with
academic experts on topics
relevant to the health of the
Taiwanese population. The
news conference held in
conjunction with the 2016
annual meeting focused
on dioxin and dioxin-like
compounds in the food
supply. Detailed data on
trends in concentrations
of dioxin-like compounds
in Taiwanese foods by
category were presented.
While it was noted that
concentration levels were
down significantly in most
food categories, scientists
also explained concerns over
flat or even slightly increasing
concentrations in certain food
categories such as grains,
fruits and fats/oils.
ILSI Taiwan is a leader in science communication and actively promotes
candid, transparent scientific discussion with members of the media.
ILSI South Africa
Maintains Momentum
on Food Microbiological
Risk Assessment
In 2015, the Food and
Agriculture Organization
of the United Nations (FAO)
and ILSI South Africa coorganized a hands-on food
microbiological risk assessment
(MRA) training workshop.
Held in Namibia, it was the
first-ever MRA training held
in southern Africa.
FAO and ILSI South Africa
partnered on MRA training
again in 2016; this time with
funding from the government
of Switzerland. Held in Rwanda,
16 central African nations were
invited and 13 participated in
an expanded, four-day training
program. FAO and ILSI South
Africa are already planning
2017’s training event, this time
for countries in west African.
The Importance of
Food Packaging
Packaging is an indispensable
component of food
manufacturing and food
distribution processes.
It keeps food safe, helps
extend shelf life, and gives
consumers a range of options
for conveniently storing food
and preparing meals. ILSI is
interested in ensuring the
safety and efficacy of new
technologies used to improve
food packaging.
Every four years, ILSI Europe
organizes an international
symposium on quality and
safety of food packaging.
Their most recent event, the
6th International Symposium
on Food Packaging, focused
on innovation.
Experts presented on risk
assessment of food contact
materials (FCM), including
renewable and recycled
materials; concepts, methods,
and tools used to test and
evaluate migration of FCMs;
and innovations such as
“intelligent packaging”
involving technology to sense
or measure product attributes
and shipping environments.
The food packaging safety
assessment frameworks
developed by the European
Commission and the
US Food and Drug
Administration (US FDA) are
built on similar principles.
ILSI North America held
a workshop in 2016
at which several
scientists from the US
FDA presented their
perspectives on issues
related to analytical
methods for evaluating
components of FCMs
and contaminant
residues from recycled
paper, paperboard, and
plastics. They highlighted
challenges such as lack
of standard methods
of analysis; standard
reference materials;
analytical standards for
many components of FCM;
and standard experimental
design for migration tests.

“Effective food safety and
quality management systems
are essential not only for
safeguarding the health and
well-being of people, but
also in fostering economic
development and improving
livelihoods.”
FAO, 2015

Nutrition and Health
ILSI’s comprehensive
nutrition and health
programs are designed
to improve scientific
understanding of
nutritional requirements
throughout the lifecycle;
food components that
contribute to health
beyond basic nutrition;
eating behavior; and more.
Understanding Dietary
Needs in a Diverse Region
Southeast Asia is a physically
and culturally diverse region.
More than 600 million people
live there; some in the most
globalized urban centers in
the world and others in rural
areas where development
and integration into larger
economies has been slow. It is
in this context ILSI Southeast
Asia Region operates.
Over the decades, the branch
has worked to improve
nutrition and food safety on
a regional level while food
systems have changed,
especially as they have gone
from local to global. To do
so, the branch has sought
to understand and
compensate for differences
among diverse populations
and economic entities.
Food composition data must
be accurate and current
to have clear idea of what
people are eating and of
the nutritional value of their
foods. From this baseline,
better nutritional guidelines
and food safety policies can
be recommended.
8
ILSI Annual Report 2016
In 2016, ILSI Southeast
Asia Region organized the
symposium “Dietary Intakes:
Assessing What We Eat and
Evaluating Methodologies.”
The symposium was
designed to share local
experiences and international
best practices in dietary
assessment methodologies
with the goal to identify
barriers and opportunities
for expanding and improving
food composition databases
in Southeast Asia.
Experts from Australia,
Singapore, and the United
States presented on methods
used in their countries.
Researchers and government
officials from Indonesia;
Malaysia; Thailand; and the
Philippines presented data
from recent nutrition surveys
and what they tell us about
diet’s role in various health
outcomes in those countries.
In addition to providing
local diet snapshots, the
discussions highlighted gaps
in and among methods.
Knowing these differences
and how they might be
bridged will be critical to
foster regional harmonization
of nutrition recommendations
and food safety practices.
“The future for research and the health of the public lies in open data and therefore,
ILSI North America is pleased to be a part of this significant open data project.”
Eric Hentges, Executive Director of ILSI North America
ILSI’s Food
Fortification Programs
Continue to Expand
Since 2004, ILSI Japan and
the Food and Nutrition
Research Institute of the
Philippines have worked
together to pilot and conduct
a market trial of iron and zinc
fortified rice. Their efforts
are part of ILSI Japan’s
Project IDEA (Iron Deficiency
Elimination Action), a staple
food fortification program
active in China; Vietnam;
Cambodia; and the Philippines.
In 2016, at the end of the
successful completion of
a large-scale but regional
market trial, stakeholders
met to outline a strategy
for expanding the rice
fortification program
nation-wide. In late 2016,
ILSI-India and ILSI Japan
organized a meeting on
food fortification programs
in Asia and Africa at which
the Philippines study was
highlighted. ILSI-India and
ILSI Japan are using the
Philippines experience to
determine the feasibility
of a similar effort in India.
ILSI North America
Partners with USDA on
Open Data Project
In 2016, US Department of
Agriculture (USDA) Secretary
Tom Vilsack announced the
launch of the USDA Branded
Food Products Database.
This new online tool contains
nutrient composition and
ingredient information on
branded foods and private
label data, provided by
the food industry, on more
than 80,000 (and growing)
brand name prepared and
packaged foods.
The database was the result
of a partnership among
USDA; ILSI North America;
GS1 US; 1WorldSync;
and Label Insight. These
organizations share a goal
to foster access to and use
of open data in initiatives
designed to improve health.
All researchers interested in
nutrition and health will find
this database useful. It will:
• enhance the National
Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey
by more accurately
characterizing food
selection and nutrient
intakes for Americans;
• enable nutrition software
developers to produce
enhanced software so
dietitians will be able
to better tailor diets to
nutritional needs;
• enable medical researchers
to better link dietary
intakes to measures of
chronic diseases.

Micronutrient
Supplementation Helps
Millions in China
In 2001, the Chinese Center
for Disease Control and
ILSI Focal Point in China
began collaborating on the
development and testing
of a complementary food
supplement to alleviate
malnutrition in infants and
young children in rural areas
of China. The supplement,
known as Ying Yang Bao, is
provided in a soy bean
powder base that can be
used at home. Three series of
intervention trials consistently
show Ying Yang Bao
significantly reduces anemia
and stunting, and improves
cognitive development.
Ying Yang Bao celebrated
15 years of success in 2016.
The program received an
additional USD 72 million in
support, primarily from the
Chinese government, which
allows it to expand coverage
to 21 rural provinces reaching
over 1.4 million at-risk children.

Sustainable Agriculture and Nutrition Security
ILSI’s programs in
sustainable agriculture
and nutrition security deal
with the challenges of
increased food demand
and impacts of climate
change on food systems
through an informed,
collaborative approach.
10
ILSI Research Foundation
Unites Disciplines
Many stakeholders –
including researchers;
farmers; governments; world
health bodies; and others –
have recognized for some
time that climate change
and extreme weather events
are threats to our ability to
produce sufficient amounts
of nutritious food to feed
the planet. Complicated
linkages among a changing
environment, nutrition
security, and human health
are intensified because of
the interconnected nature of
the global food system. The
ILSI Research Foundation
is working to improve our
understanding of these
complex interactions to
better determine how best
to adapt so food systems
meet nutrition needs in more
sustainable ways.
ILSI Annual Report 2016
An important step forward
in this effort took place
in 2016 in Montpellier,
France. The ILSI Research
Foundation joined academic
partners from the University
of Washington and Johns
Hopkins University to co-host
a roundtable discussion titled
“Climate Change, Nutrition &
Health: Building Collaborative
Structures.” The roundtable
was held in conjunction with
the 6th Global Workshop
of the Agricultural Model
Intercomparison and
Improvement Project (AgMIP),
a major international effort
linking the climate, crop,
and economic modeling
communities.
Thirty international experts
from a variety of scientific
disciplines explored whether
different types of diets
(plant-based vs. animal- and
plant-based) impact climate
change differently, and
conversely, whether climate
change impacts dietary
patterns and nutrition and
health outcomes. They
discussed what methods and
metrics are needed to better
understand relationships
among among diets; nutrition;
health outcomes; and climate
change. Importantly, the
group shared ideas on ways
the nutrition and climate
science communities might
better collaborate on these
important issues.
“We must collaborate across sciences and with
other disciplines to achieve sustainability.”
Charles Rice, PhD, Kansas State University
Charting a Course Forward
In the United States, there
is a growing demand
for nutritious food to be
produced in more carbonneutral ways and new
research suggests this goal
is achievable. However,
important questions still need
to be answered. For example,
what is the permanence of
soil carbon reserves and
how does one best validate
emerging soil carbon
protocols?
To address these and other
important questions, the
ILSI Research Foundation
organized “C-Quest:
Charting a Course for Climate
Research in Agriculture”
in 2016. Eighty scientists,
farmers, and other experts
attended the event with the
shared goal to prioritize a
set of research targets for
US agriculture that support
the US Department of
Agriculture’s building blocks
for climate smart agriculture,
and integrate existing US
field research networks for
climate adaptation.
C-Quest was co-sponsored
by the Foundation for
Food and Agriculture
Research; the Howard
G. Buffett Foundation;
Monsanto Company; Soil
Health Partnership; USDA;
Washington University in St.
Louis; and the Sustainable
Agriculture Research and
Education (SARE) program
at the University of Missouri.
The ILSI Research Foundation
took a multi-sectoral,
collaborative approach to
planning this workshop,
and ensured the C-Quest
organizational committee
included representatives
from the sponsorship groups
as well as Field to Market;
North American Climate
Smart Agriculture Alliance;
The Nature Conservancy;
and World Wildlife Fund.
The top research priority
identified by C-Quest
participants focused
on developing reliable
indicators for quantifying
soil health. This reflects
surging commercial
and research interest in
promoting robust soil
microbial communities,
improving cover crop
cultivars, and characterizing
soil health-related
ecosystem services.
C-Quest’s summary report,
along with the presentations
from the workshop, were
shared broadly to help
inform research and
investment strategies in
the United States.

Open Data Leads
to Innovation
Open data, elemental
to identify needs and
track progress, are at the
center of innovation in
agriculture, food security,
and nutrition. The ILSI
Research Foundation is a
strong advocate for open
data and has been an early
practitioner of data sharing
through resources like the
ILSI Crop Composition
Database. The Research
Foundation is pleased to
be part of an international
effort to greatly expand
the use of open data in
nutrition modeling through
its close collaboration with
the Global Open Data for
Agriculture and Nutrition
(GODAN) initiative.
The 2016 GODAN Open
Data Summit brought
together government
representatives; researchers;
farmers; students; and
leaders from public and
private organizations to
collaborate on ways to make
agriculture and nutrition
data open and available, all
with a goal to help eliminate
world hunger. The GODAN
initiative launched two years
ago. There are now more
than 300 GODAN partners,
including the ILSI Research
Foundation, working
together to build high level
policy and institutional
support for open data, both
in the public and private
sectors.
11
Regional Cooperation
The initial steps for
establishing ILSI and its
ultimate incorporation
over 35 years ago were
made in the United States.
Even then, however, ILSI
recognized that health
and science are borderless
concepts and that health
decisions are made locally.
Global Perspective
ILSI’s network is consciously
designed so that science – no
matter where it is generated –
can be applied in national or
regional context.
safety. They recognized the
increasingly interconnected
nature of the food systems
they share, and wanted to
work together to improve
food safety harmonization.
Today, 16 regional or countryspecific branches, the ILSI
Health and Environmental
Sciences Institute, and the
ILSI Research Foundation
work together to provide
a flexible mechanism for
identifying emerging issues,
fostering a harmonized use
of science, and building
scientific and technical
capacity at the local level.
Since 2009, their efforts have
expanded to include all of
east Asia. The 8th BeSeTo
meeting, held in 2016,
involved ILSI Southeast Asia
Region and ILSI Taiwan. It
resulted in commitment to
a review and assessment of
nutrition labeling and health
claim requirements currently
in place in the region. The
study will describe similarities
and differences from country
to country and how they
compare to standards
recommended by Codex
Alimentarius.
Asia
ILSI branches in Asia have
long been leaders in crossgeography coordination
and collaboration. In 2009,
ILSI Focal Point in China,
ILSI Japan, and ILSI Korea
held the first BeSeTo (Beijng
– Seoul – Tokyo) meeting;
a gathering of stakeholders
from the three countries to
discuss concerns around food
12
Latin America
Latin America is a vast region
stretching from the US –
Mexico border to the nearAntarctic regions of Argentina
and Chile. It includes several
countries in the Caribbean.
There is immense diversity
among the region’s nations
in terms of culture, political
systems, and economic
development. Each country
and regions within the
ILSI Annual Report 2016
region have unique public
health and environmental
issues and concerns.
On this latter point, however,
the ILSI branches in Latin
America recognize they
share much in common
when it comes to addressing
human health and wellness
and ensuring a safe and
sustainable environment.
In 2016 and for the first time
ever, all ILSI branches in
Latin America – ILSI
Argentina; ILSI Brasil;
ILSI Nor-Andino; ILSI
Mesoamerica; ILSI Mexico;
and ILSI Sur-Andino –
organized a regional
annual meeting.
Over the course of three days,
the branches in Latin America
prioritized scientific areas for
future collaborative work:
comparing and harmonizing
food composition databases;
building scientific and
technical capacity in risk
assessment; and better
understanding how food
science and food technology
can improve food safety
and nutrition status, and
contribute to sustainability
of the food supply.
