MSU News: Food safety in Saudi

MSU News reports A network of food safety researchers and educators led by Michigan State University will soon be working with the Saudi Food and Drug Authority, a new Saudi Arabian government authority responsible for regulating the safety of food, feed and pesticides in addition to drugs and medical devices.

Excerpt:
“This is an exciting opportunity to apply MSU’s renowned international expertise in food safety to enhance Saudi Arabia’s knowledge base and regulatory infrastructure,” said Frederik Derksen, professor and chairperson of MSU’s food science and human nutrition department. “Currently, at least 30 MSU scientists across 11 departments focus on food safety research — from preharvest food safety to food processing standards and policies — and nearly all have ongoing interdisciplinary research projects that have primed them for a collaborative, global initiative such as this.”
