Hello,
For those of you who may have missed it, we recently organised a 'Processed foods symposium: How to communicate about what we (don’t) know?'. We hope you find it interesting and useful.
This event brought together different perspectives on processed foods. It summarised definitions, concepts and classifications, discussed epidemiological and public health issues around processed foods, shed light on insights from sensory and behaviour science, and highlighted the impact of food processing from the food technology angle.
With a total of 1162 registrations from across the globe, 856 attendees joining us live and 122K people reached only on Twitter, we can proudly say the symposium was a success. We hope that #TalkProcessedFoods will continue and grow into a balanced discussion that will help people make better informed food decisions.
For us, the key outcome of the Symposium was that, while addressing it from four different angles, all our speakers have invited us:- to care and know about what is in the food we eat;
- to follow the basic nutrition advice of upping the intake of nutritious foods;
- to reduce the saturated fat, salt and sugar intake;
- and while doing so, not to forget to slow down, enjoy and appreciate, as food is not a mere fuel.
We hope you can join us in one of our next events!
Kind regards,
On behalf of the EUFIC team. |
