News & Events
In addition to publishing the latest GHI news, activities and event notices for our members, GHI also communicates sound principles of food safety science to influencers and decision makers—from the general public and the press, to politicians, policymakers and regulatory authorities.
Through a variety of communications, we aim to improve understanding and better inform all stakeholders so that objective scientific concepts, not political expediency or media hype, become the basis of crafting meaningful, harmonized food safety legislation and regulation in all countries.

GHI Issues New Share Sheet, Harmonisation: Feeding People, Fueling Innovation
As the first in GHI's new Share Sheet series, Harmonisation: Feeding People, Fueling Innovation outlines how differences in food safety regulations between countries not only impedes the use of new technologies but also leads to the destruction of food in a world where 1 billion people go hungry. Using Parclesus' Toxicology Principle, "the dose makes the poison," the two-page brief illustrates how poor communication and misperceptions by politicians, policymakers, consumers and other influencers can result in the development of non-science-based and conflicting regulations, globally.
