Food and nutrition are key determinants of our overall health status; and poor nutrition and lifestyle choices contribute significantly to chronic disease risk. In today's world, the food system has multiple players across the entire food chain with government, academia, industry and the general public working together to bring food to our tables. Science and technology are critical to make our food supply safe, sustainable, and nutritious. Scientists need to work with both government and industry to ensure sustainable diets are possible. However, criticisms are sometimes levied on industry collaboration with governments, questioning the integrity of the science being undertaken.

The International Life Sciences Institute Southeast Asia (ILSI SEA) Region hosted a virtual 2.5hr-workshop with key experts working on the important topic of Science and Research Integrity on June 24, 2021, with particular focus on issues facing scientists in Southeast Asia. This webinar obtained views and perspectives from experts working on guiding integrity standards in science and research, provided an overview of current efforts in the SEA Region to support scientific integrity in food and nutrition research, and facilitated the development of a regional network for supporting Scientific Integrity in science research and public health programs.

Background

Nutrition information on food labels has been recognised as one of the strategies adopted to assist consumers in adopting healthy dietary practices. Nutrition information would include nutrition labelling (or nutrition information panel - NIP), nutrition and health claims, front-of-pack (FOP) nutrition labelling and ingredient list.

Recognising the potential of such nutrition information to help consumers in making informed food choices in planning healthier diets, the Ministry of Health (MOH) Malaysia amended the Food Regulations 1985 to mandate nutrition labelling for a wide variety of foods and made provisions for nutrition claims in 2003. Such nutrition information on food labels is also of importance to the food industry as food manufacturers would become more aware of the nutritional properties of their products and be encouraged to emphasise these properties to consumers.

In line with global developments and the public health needs of the country, MOH Malaysia gazetted many further amendments to the Food Regulations 1985 in July 2020, in relation to food labelling, nutrition labelling and nutrition and health claims. It is important to have a clear understanding of these amendments as they would have important impact on how all stakeholders perform their duties and businesses. These include food manufacturers, health care professionals, researchers and eventually impact on the consumers.

This regulatory update webinar focuses on these amendments, especially those contained in Food (amendment) No. 4, P.U. (A) 209, dated 21 July 2020.

  • To update stakeholders on amendments No. 4, P.U.(A), July 2020 of the Food Regulations 1985
  • Provide an explanation of these amendments and their interpretation
  • Discuss the implications/impact on major stakeholders

Background

Saccharide is the unit structure of carbohydrates, and is present in various forms in a wide array of carbohydrate foods from sugars to starches. The innovation space for carbohydrates has seen rapid growth as consumers are actively seeking to limit their caloric and carbohydrates intake, in response to public health policy initiatives, largely driven by the rise in obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases.

Reformulation efforts to make foods healthier without compromising on taste has been a long-standing challenge for the food industry. As innovative, healthful ingredients and technological solutions continue to develop to meet consumers' needs and nutrition targets, it is important to review the current scientific evidence of carbohydrates in tandem with emerging research and developments. This will benefit from a greater understanding of consumer taste preference and perception, and taste modulation technology that is playing an increasingly important role in satisfying consumer demands and addressing the growing public health challenges.

As part of our ongoing webinar series on nutrients and health, this webinar will engage scientists and experts with expertise in food and sensory science and technology, nutrition and public health to:

  • Review and update current understanding and scientific research on carbohydrates and their potential effects on health and diseases
  • Share valuable consumer science insights on sweetness perception
  • Discuss the technological and sensory aspects of taste modulation
  • Identify research gaps and opportunities in these respective areas, with the key goal of improving public health
