... if the food industry wants journalists and consumers to get real about risk, then it has to get real too ... the food industry is not doing itself any favors i say this after returning from the ift annual meeting and expo in new orleans ... few events targeted at food scientists would be complete without at least one hand-wringing session railing at the scientific illiteracy and ‘chemophobia’ of the public and the media when it comes to food ... is it any wonder consumers have an irrational suspicion of food science - delegates were repeatedly told - when the media is populated by arts graduates unable to grasp ‘scientific’ material and hell bent on turning the most innocuous story into a full-blown food scare? what they rarely acknowledge, of course, is that journalists are only part of the problem ... the elephant in the room is one large, schizophrenic beast called the food industry, which, let’s be honest, is sending out some pretty mixed messages ... mixed messages while food scientists know we’re all made of ‘chemicals’ and that ‘natural’, ‘local’, ‘organic’ or ‘minimally processed’ food is not inherently safer, healthier or more sustainable than ‘mass-produced’ food, this is not what their colleagues in marketing are telling us ... indeed, if consumers suspect ‘artificial’ colors, flavors, sweeteners and preservatives might be poisoning their kids, this is in no small part because food manufacturers are falling over each other to banish them, regardless of whether they actually believe they are doing any harm ... the message is clear, that the much-maligned (and legal and exhaustively-tested) substances must be bad for you, or why remove them? and what about bisphenol a (bpa)? half of the food industry is reassuring us that minute levels in can coatings represent a correspondingly minute, and acceptable level of risk, while the other half is scrambling to get rid of it faster than you can say 'bpa-free'
