IAFNS work supports two presentations at the upcoming National Nutrient Databank Conference at American University.


Partners of USDA's Global Branded Food Products Database will highlight recent initiatives. Initiatives that advance data quality standards, align product attributes with regulations, and display the data in formats consistent with food labels will be addressed.


The second presentation will be on a new iPhone app that displays food additive information right from the grocery store aisle. The app was developed by an IAFNS summer graduate research assistant.

This event, organized by the Washington, DC section of the Institute of Food Technologists will include discussions around the latest policy updates directly from representatives from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Department of Agriculture (USDA), Health and Human Services (DHHS), and others.

					
Highly Processed Foods: Landscape and Implications

											
					
Highly Processed Foods: Landscape and Implications


April 22, 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM


This panel will examine the evolving landscape of ultra‑processed foods (UPFs) through three complementary lenses. The first segment will highlight current scientific research on UPFs, including emerging evidence on health impacts and classification challenges. The discussion will then shift to consumer insights, exploring public perceptions, purchasing behaviors, and communication gaps surrounding UPFs. The session will conclude with an overview of new non‑UPF certification efforts from leading organizations, outlining how these standards aim to guide industry reformulation and support clearer choices for consumers. Together, the panel will provide a comprehensive view of the science, sentiment, and solutions shaping the future of UPF policy and practice.

Harnessing Technology to Advance Food Innovation and Safety


April 22, 03:00 PM - 04:00 PM


Modern technology is actively reshaping how we ensure the safety of our supply chains, manufacture foods, and communicate nutrition information to stakeholders and consumers. This session begins with an overview of data-driven approaches to advance food safety and then transitions into a deeper look at advanced AI-driven platforms shaping food product development and consumer understanding. open the session by discussing the Partnerships for Food Traceability's role in leading a pilot program to help industry implement the food traceability rule. The IAFNS-supported Food Additive Lens app will be presented as part of this program.



Speakers:


Eric Marshall, JD, Partnership for Food Traceability


Jay Gilbert, PhD, IFT


Yi Wang, PhD, University of Maryland

IAFNS work supports two presentations at the upcoming National Nutrient Databank Conference at American University.


Partners of USDA's Global Branded Food Products Database will highlight recent initiatives. Initiatives that advance data quality standards, align product attributes with regulations, and display the data in formats consistent with food labels will be addressed.


The second presentation will be on a new iPhone app that displays food additive information right from the grocery store aisle. The app was developed by an IAFNS summer graduate research assistant.

					
Advancing Data and Quality Standards for Branded Food Products: USDA's Public Private Partnership in Action 

											
					
Presentation will be given April 13 from 1:45-2:05 pm ET.


Speaker:


Brandon Herring, University of Maryland


Contributors:


Trish Zecca, MS, IAFNS


Kerri Fulton, MS, GS1 US

					
On-Device AI for Real-Time Food Additive Education: Deploying Large Language Models with Retrieval-Augmented Generation on Mobile Platforms

											
					
The iPhone food additives app presentation will be given April 13 from 10:40-11:00 am ET.


Speaker:


Yi Wang, University of Connecticut


Contributor:


Yihang Feng, University of Connecticut (graduate).
