Live Microbe Data and How to Submit to the Global Branded Food Products Database
February 27, 2023
Virtual, Event
Food manufacturers can now include information on the amount of beneficial live microbes present in food products, specify the level (low, medium or high) of microbes and optionally indicate the microbe species. These data will support research on associations between beneficial live dietary microbes and health when linked to biomarkers of health and data on health outcomes.
