McDonalds has announced it will partner with franchisees and suppliers to reduce greenhouse gas emissions related to McDonalds restaurants and offices by 36% by 2030 from a 2015 base year in a new strategy to address global climate change. Additionally, McDonalds commits to a 31% reduction in emissions intensity (per metric ton of food and packaging) across its supply chain by 2030 from 2015 levels. This combined target has been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

A team from Madrid University (Spain) has just published a multi-centre randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled intervention study regarding the safety and tolerance of three of LHS probiotic strains in healthy infants. The strains tested individually are Lactobacillus helveticus Rosell®-52, Bifidobacterium infantis Rosell®-33, Bifidobacterium bifidum Rosell®-71, all part of the ProbioKid® formula, previously shown to help prevent the reoccurrence of winter infections in children. The eight weeks intervention study involved a large population sample as 221 healthy infants (3-12 months of age) were recruited in total, divided between four groups (placebo and each of the three probiotic strains). No serious adverse events were reported and the Spanish authors concluded that the use of the three probiotic strains in infancy is safe, and well tolerated. Bérengère Feuz, Marketing Group Manager, commented about the study: We already have a track record of safe use of our ProbioKid formula as it has been marketed for around 15 years around the world (e.g. China where it is a best-selling probiotic formula for children since 2003). This study reinforces the assurance we have in our product. Moreover, I must say that we are very impressed by the quality and impact of this very-well designed study as it involves a large population of healthy infants and assesses independently each of the individual strains of ProbioStick. She added: The protocol allowed to go beyond the safety and tolerance assessment since many parameters were also included: this will be analysed in a second step and shall give us new information about each strain modes of action in healthy individuals such as interactions with the microbiota and immune system. Such safety study contributed to the GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) status recently obtained in the US for both ProbioKid® formula and its individual strains for infants and children, and the approval by Health Canada of the formula for children from 3 months old.

Sugar reduction remains a central topic in the media and among consumers and opportunities for reducing sugar intake are taking a number of directions as companies address evolving concerns and demands.
The Global Beta-carotene market is majorly propelled by rising awareness towards the consumption of beta-carotene and inclination of industries towards natural beta-carotene across the globe according to research report Global Beta-carotene Market Outlook 2024. Regionally, the beta-carotene market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of World (ROW). Among these, North America is anticipated to witness a significant growth and occupy the largest share of beta-carotene market by 2024. On account of increasing demand for beta-carotene from the food and beverage industry, the global beta-carotene market is estimated to reach USD 583 million (492 milliion) by the end of 2024 witnessing a compound annual growth rate of 3.1% over the forecast period. Geographically, North America dominates the beta-carotene market followed by Europe. Increasing awareness associated with the consumption of beta-carotene is driving the North America market. The essential role of beta-carotene and others as the main dietary source of vitamin A coupled with higher edge of natural beta-carotene over synthetic beta-carotene in terms of lip-solubility and antioxidant activity is propelling the growth of beta-carotene market all across the globe. In human body, beta-carotene gets transformed to vitamin A nutrients which empower the immune system. Food and Beverage industries are now more inclined towards the use of natural beta-carotene in comparison to synthetic beta-carotene. This outsized shift of industry from synthetic to natural beta-carotene will intensify the market growth in upcoming 5-6 years.

Adequate intake of certain nutrients is associated with a reduction in all-cause mortality when the nutrient source is foods, but not supplements, according to a new study. There was no association between dietary supplement use and a lower risk of death.

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control are concerned about the impact of use of antibiotics on the increase in antibiotic-resistant bacteria. A new report from the three agencies presents new data on antibiotic consumption and antibiotic resistance and reflects improved surveillance across Europe. Vytenis Andriukaitis, European Commissioner for Health and Food Safety, said: To contain antibiotic resistance we need to fight on three fronts at the same time: human, animal and the environment. This is exactly what we are trying to achieve in the EU and globally with our recently launched EU Action Plan on antimicrobial resistance. This new report confirms the link between antibiotic consumption and antibiotic resistance in both humans and food-producing animals. The Joint Interagency Antimicrobial Consumption and Resistance Analysis (JIACRA) report highlights that there are still important differences across the EU in the use of antibiotics in animals and humans. Reducing their unnecessary use will have an impact on the occurrence of resistance. Overall antibiotic use is higher in food-producing animals than in humans, but the situation varies across countries and according to the antibiotics. In particular, a class of antibiotics called polymyxins which includes colistin is used widely in the veterinary sector. It is also increasingly used in hospitals to treat multidrug-resistant infections. Other antibiotics are more often used in humans than in animals. These include third- and fourth-generation cephalosporins and quinolones, antibiotics that are also considered critically important for human health. The report notes that resistance to quinolones, used to treat salmonellosis and campylobacteriosis in humans, is associated with use of antibiotics in animals. The use of third- and fourth-generation cephalosporins for the treatment of infections caused by E. coli and other bacteria in humans is associated with resistance to these antibiotics in E. coli found in humans.

The rise in unexplained European cases of Salmonella poisoning linked to the use of cucumbers in ready-to-eat foods reminds manufacturers about the need to stay informed on food compliance matters. SGS Digicomply provides tailored data to help businesses mitigate against the risk of non-compliance. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has reported 147 cases of Salmonella enterica poisoning linked to the use of cucumbers in ready-to-eat meals. So far, five countries have been affected the UK, Denmark, Finland, Germany and Ireland with the UK being worst hit with 129 cases. Beginning in 2014, initially the number of reported cases was low, but these have since escalated with early 2017 and 2018 being identified as peaks. Authorities are predicting that the trend will continue with early 2019 anticipated to be another peak. The EFSA and European Center for Disease Control (ECDC) used whole genome sequencing (WGS) to link all these cases to a single strain of Salmonella enterica S. agona and to the use of cucumbers in ready-to-eat meals. However, despite being able to identify the cucumbers country of origin Spain they have so far been unable to find a connection between supply chains and no single primary producer growing the affected cucumbers. The EFSA reports, laboratory results for Salmonella in all cucumber samples, taken either at primary production level in Spain or during distribution to/within UK, were negative. The food industry is therefore being warned that, without the clear identification of a point of contamination, it can expect more cases of Salmonella enterica poisoning in early 2019. Those involved in the food processing and ready-to-eat food sectors are therefore advised to remain alert to changes in food safety regulations and compliance, and ensure their quality assurance management systems are operating effectively. SGS recently launched the latest version of its SGS Digicomply online regulatory intelligence platform. The system provides economic operators with a single, comprehensive and targeted online data source to help them stay up-to-date with news concerning changes to food regulations and compliance.
