LSI Faculty Fellow Diana Bowman recently co-authored a chapter titled Ensuring Food Safety: General Principles for Safeguarding What You Eat Including the Role of Food Labels in Emerging Nanotechnologies in Food Science
Among other things, the chapter discusses food safety, health and financial implications of food-related incidents and the challenges facing regulators, including the “pacing problem” — where existing regulatory oversight cannot keep up with advancing technologies — focusing specifically on nanotechnology and nano-based products.
