Item Allergen Management as a Key Issue in Food Safety(Taylor & Francis, 2017) Raposo, António; Pérez, Esteban; Tinoco de Faria, Catarina; Carrascosa, Conrado; CBIOS (FCT) - Centro de Investigação em Biociências e Tecnologias da SaúdeFood safety and protection is a multidisciplinary topic that focuses on the safety, quality, and security aspects of food. Food safety issues involve microbial risks in food products, foodborne infections, and intoxications and food allergenicity. Food protection deals with trends and risks associated with food packaging, advanced food packaging systems for enhancing product safety, the development and application of predictive models for food microbiology, food fraud prevention, and food laws and regulations with the aim to provide safe foods for consumers. The book Food Safety and Protection covers various aspects of food safety, security, and protection. It discusses the challenges involved in the prevention and control of foodborne illnesses due to microbial spoilage, contamination, and toxins. The book covers new and safe food intervention techniques, predictive food microbiology, and modeling approaches. It deliberates the legal framework, regulatory agencies, and laws and regulations for food protection.Item Ibero–American Consensus on Low- and No-Calorie Sweeteners: Safety, Nutritional Aspects and Benefits in Food and Beverages(MDPI, 2018) Serra-Majem, Lluis; Raposo, António; Aranceta-Bartrina, Javier; Varela-Moreiras, Gregorio; Logue, Caomhan; Laviada, Hugo; Socolovsky, Susana; Pérez-Rodrigo, Carmen; Aldrete-Velasco, Jorge Antonio; Meneses Sierra, Eduardo; López-García, Rebeca; Ortiz-Andrellucchi, Adriana; Gómez-Candela, Carmen; Abreu, Rodrigo; Alexanderson, Erick; Álvarez-Álvarez, Rolando Joel; Álvarez Falcón, Ana Luisa; Anadón, Arturo; Bellisle, France; Beristain-Navarrete, Ina Alejandra; Blasco Redondo, Raquel; Bochicchio, Tommaso; Camolas, José; Cardini, Fernando Guilhermo; Carocho, Márcio; Costa, Maria do Céu; Drewnowski, Adam; Dúran, Samuel; Faundes, Víctor; Fernández-Condori, Roxana; García-Luna, Pedro P.; Garnica, Juan Carlos; González-Gross, Marcela; La Vecchia, Carlo; Leis, Rosaura; López-Sobaler, Ana María; Madero, Miguel Agustín; Marcos, Ascensión; Mariscal Ramírez, Luis Alfonso; Martyn, Danika M.; Mistura, Lorenza; Moreno Rojas, Rafael; Moreno Villares, José Manuel; Niño-Cruz, José Antonio; Oliveira, Maria Beatriz P.

LNCS are food additives that are broadly used as sugar substitutes to sweeten foods and beverages with the addition of fewer or no calories. They are also used in medicines, health-care products, such as toothpaste, and food supplements. The goal of this Consensus was to provide a useful, evidence-based, point of reference to assist in efforts to reduce free sugars consumption in line with current international public health recommendations. Participating experts in the Lisbon Consensus analysed and evaluated the evidence in relation to the role of LNCS in food safety, their regulation and the nutritional and dietary aspects of their use in foods and beverages. The conclusions of this Consensus were: (1) LNCS are some of the most extensively evaluated dietary constituents, and their safety has been reviewed and confirmed by regulatory bodies globally including the World Health Organisation, the US Food and Drug Administration and the European Food Safety Authority; (2) Consumer education, which is based on the most robust scientific evidence and regulatory processes, on the use of products containing LNCS should be strengthened in a comprehensive and objective way; (3) The use of LNCS in weight reduction programmes that involve replacing caloric sweeteners with LNCS in the context of structured diet plans may favour sustainable weight reduction. Furthermore, their use in diabetes management programmes may contribute to a better glycaemic control in patients, albeit with modest results. LNCS also provide dental health benefits when used in place of free sugars; (4) It is proposed that foods and beverages with LNCS could be included in dietary guidelines as alternative options to products sweetened with free sugars; (5) Continued education of health professionals is required, since they are a key source of information on issues related to food and health for both the general population and patients. With this in mind, the publication of position statements and consensus documents in the academic literature are extremely desirable
