This Review Article summarizes outcomes from the ILSI Europe expert workshop on plant-based proteins in infant formula, held in November 2024. Experts from academia, clinical nutrition, and food science evaluated the current use and future potential of plant-based protein sources in infant formula, considering nutritional adequacy, allergenicity, sustainability, processing technologies, and regulatory constraints. While soy and hydrolyzed rice proteins are already approved and in use, emerging sources such as pea, lentil, and faba beans show promise but require further validation of their amino acid profiles, digestibility, safety, and suitability for infants. Key research priorities identified include the development of improved protein extraction methods, in vitro digestion and allergy modeling, and targeted clinical studies. This review synthesizes current evidence and expert perspectives to support the development of sustainable, nutritionally adequate plant-based infant formulas.
Resumen de las Mesas de Trabajo del Grupo de Empaques y Envases – ILSI Nor Andino
Este documento reúne las principales conclusiones y reflexiones desarrolladas en las tres Mesas de Trabajo del Grupo de Empaques y Envases de ILSI Nor Andino, realizadas durante el segundo semestre de 2023. A través de un enfoque técnico, científico y multisectorial, el informe aborda los retos y oportunidades asociados a los empaques y envases en el contexto de la seguridad alimentaria, la innovación, la sostenibilidad, la comunicación y la educación.
La primera mesa analiza el impacto de la pérdida y el desperdicio de alimentos en la seguridad alimentaria, destacando el rol estratégico de los empaques para preservar la calidad, inocuidad y disponibilidad de los alimentos, en un contexto marcado por la desigualdad social y el aumento del costo del plato saludable en Colombia.
La segunda mesa se centra en la innovación y la sostenibilidad de los empaques, abordando herramientas como el análisis de ciclo de vida, el ecodiseño, la economía circular, el uso de material reciclado y las certificaciones ambientales, así como experiencias empresariales y programas orientados al fortalecimiento de capacidades técnicas en la cadena de valor del plástico.
Finalmente, la tercera mesa profundiza en la comunicación y la educación como ejes clave para la divulgación científica responsable, el marketing científico y la gestión de la información en un entorno de infodemia, integrando además el marco regulatorio colombiano relacionado con plásticos de un solo uso y la responsabilidad extendida del productor.
Este resumen constituye un insumo relevante para la industria, la academia, los tomadores de decisión y demás actores interesados en promover sistemas de empaques más seguros, sostenibles y alineados con las políticas públicas y los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible.
There are several misconceptions about food processing technologies, as they are often mistakenly viewed as the same as food formulation. It is important to dispel this and provide correct information on how latest food processing technologies are contributing towards food and nutrition security, food safety, and health.
To address this, ILSI India organized INTECH 2025 Conference on “Innovations in Food Processing & Flavor Technologies: Advancing Safety, Nutrition and Health” on 9 December in New Delhi. This one-day conferencewas held in collaboration with ICAR– Central Institute of Post Harvest Engineering & Technology, Ludhiana; National Institute of Food Technology Entrepreneurship and Management, Kundli; National Institute of Food Technology Entrepreneurship and Management, Thanjavur; the Ministry of Food Processing Industries (GoI); and Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. This Conference was addressed by 28 Leading Experts.The Compendium of Abstracts of Presentations can be downloaded from: https://tinyurl.com/3va6y75kand Presentations can be viewed from: https://ilsi-india.org/food-and-water-safety/.

A Framework for Developing Intake and Use Guidance for Dietary Supplement Bioactives
Dietary bioactives, which are commonly found in food, beverages, and dietary supplements, include nonessential food components that can support health beyond preventing nutrient deficiencies. Despite their known health benefits and potential for adverse effects, there is limited guidance on appropriate intake levels, safety, and efficacy of these ingredients, particularly those present in dietary supplements. This lack of guidance can be challenging for individuals attempting to make informed decisions about products marketed for health benefits. A previously published perspective proposed a 4-step framework for developing quantitative intake recommendations for bioactive constituents in food. This framework addressed bioactive characterization, safety evaluation, efficacy assessment, and how to develop intake levels from foods. However, it did not account for the unique considerations of bioactives consumed in dietary supplement form. The current paper builds on the original framework by addressing the specific factors that must be considered when developing intake guidance for bioactive constituents found in dietary supplements. These include differences in dose, matrix, purity, bioavailability, and intended use. In doing so, this paper aims to advance the development of evidence-based recommendations for supplements, while also highlighting the fundamental distinctions between bioactive constituents delivered through food and diet compared with those delivered through dietary supplements.
