USDA Announces Close to $19 million Food Safety Research Grants
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3, 2016:
President's 2017 Budget Request Will Propose to Fully Fund USDA's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative, Doubling Amount That Was Available in 2016
WASHINGTON, March 31, 2015
USDA Awards 36 Food Safety Grants, Including $6.7 Million for Antimicrobial Resistance, to Protect Consumers
This announcement provides a refreshing direction of focus. At a time when food business operators are made to believe that product safety and quality management challenges can be resolved through the creation of large volumes of administrative paperwork, the idea to fund meaningful research is well worth celebrating. Targeted research is right in line with the proposals for collaborative solution-finding under the SSQA Concept.
The following projects were selected for awards:
- Enhancing Food Safety through Improved Processing Technologies
- Effective Mitigation Strategies for Antimicrobial Resistance
- Identifying and Targeting Food Safety Needs
- Improving Food Safety
- Improving Food Quality

Comparing Regulatory Clauses from Different Jurisdictions
Food business operators must regularly engage in regulation tracking. A
simple chart can be helpful to quickly track and compare the food regulations from
different jurisdictions like Canada, the US and the EU. I once gave this
exercise to my Food Regulations course students at Conestoga College. You may Download the example of the chart given to the students.
The
chart can be easily modified or expanded by adding
columns for additional jurisdictions and more rows for additional regulatory
subjects. You will find that this chart quickly becomes a living and very helpful document if properly managed and actively updated.
