- Wednesday, August 3, 2022 from 8:30 AM to 10:00 AM ET
The announcement of FDA's "New Era of Smarter Food Safety" initiative in 2020 brought heightened visibility to new technologies and approaches to create a safer food supply, including those to enhance traceability, improve predictive analytics, respond more rapidly to outbreaks, and reduce contamination of food. However, with more questions than answers on how the food industry can implement these technologies within their facilities and infrastructures, there exists an opportunity to help close the gap between what's achievable with these technologies and the current state. In this roundtable, a panel of regulatory and industry scientists will discuss how recent innovations in predictive analytics; new tools for risk assessment and environmental monitoring, including how to handle tracking and mapping data; and virtual monitoring technology for use in auditing and inspections can be used to improve food safety and sustainability. In addition, panelists will discuss whether the industry is using these technologies to their fullest extent, and limitations to implementing these technologies in the food industry.
Speakers:• Mark Moorman, US Food and Drug Administration
• Tim Jackson, Driscoll's
• Cindy Jiang, McDonald's
• James Yuan, PepsiCo • Derrick Bautista, Del Monte Foods, Inc.
These sessions are supported by the IAFNS Food Microbiology Committee. Learn more about the IAFP Annual Meeting.

Each fall, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics sponsors the world's largest meeting of food, nutrition and dietetics experts to address key issues affecting the health of individuals and communities throughout the country and around the world.
IAFNS is supporting two sessions at the FNCE 2022:
Are We Ready? Dietary Recommendations Based on Direct-to-Consumer Gut Microbiome Tests ExpandOctober 10, 2022, 1:30 - 3:00pm ET
Join IAFNS, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Research Dietetic Practice Group (RDPG), and the American Society for Nutrition Microbiology Research Interest Section (RIS) for this session at the annual meeting of nutrition professionals.
Achieving health goals is dependent upon the provision of evidence-based dietary recommendations. As the popularity of direct-to-consumer gut microbiome tests expands, it is important to understand the predictive value of these tests and promise for improving health of the users. Speakers in this session will provide a review of the state-of-the-science related to gut microbiome research, its promise for producing individualized dietary recommendations, and outline what yet needs to be known. By sharing researcher, clinical, and nutrition practitioner perspectives, this session will bring clarity to the current translatability of gut microbiome science and value of direct-to-consumer gut microbiome tests for supporting health, as well as the future promise of gut microbiome science and related consumer-directed tools.
Panel:
- Philip Karl, PhD, RD, US Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine - Moderator
- Levi Tiegen, PhD, RD, University of Minnesota Medical School
- Diane E. Hoffman, JD, MS, University of Maryland, Baltimore
- Purna C. Kashyap, MBBS, Mayo Clinic
Performance Indicators:
- 6.2.3 Interprets data to make recommendations and to inform decisions
- 10.2 Implements the nutrition care process to ensure individual health goals are established
- 8.1.2 Applies knowledge of food and nutrition as well as the biological, physical and social sciences in practice
This session is supported by the IAFNS Gut Microbiome Committee.
Flavanols and Cardiometabolic Health: Examining the First Ever Dietary Bioactive Guideline ExpandOctober 11, 2022, 8:30 - 9:30 am ET
Years of discussion among the dietetics community paired with a plethora of data from peer-reviewed human studies have culminated in the first ever dietary recommendation for a bioactive compound. In this session, members of the Academy-appointed Expert Panel will present the guideline recommendation for flavan-3-ols and cardiometabolic health, including an overview of the flavan-3-ols (a type of flavonoid), the supporting evidence for improved cardiometabolic health, and the importance of a food-based approach to intake. Translating this into practice requires a discussion of not only health equity but also barriers and facilitators to guideline adoption. As such, this session will highlight key considerations and strategies for successful implementation. Attendees will leave with an understanding of how they can implement this guideline to optimize cardiometabolic health and conduct future studies to fill critical research gaps.
Panel:
Kristi Crowe-White, PhD, RDN, The University of Alabama - ModeratorKim Stote, PhD, MPH, RDN, State University of New York, Empire State College
Taylor Wallace, PhD, CFS, FACN, Think Healthy Group / George Mason University
Performance Indicators:
- 8.1.2 Integrates knowledge of biological, physical, and social sciences with knowledge of food and nutrition to make decisions related
to nutrition care - 8.2.4 Integrates new knowledge of disease states and clinical conditions into practice.
- 6.2.3 Analyzes and interprets data to form valid conclusions and to make recommendations.
This session is supported by the IAFNS Bioactives Committee.
