Recognizing the importance of ensuring that quality food ingredients are made available to the public, the National Institute of Nutrition and Food Safety-Chinese Center for Diseases Control and Prevention (NINFS) and the U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) signed an agreement detailing potential areas of collaboration. “Consumers are increasingly consuming foods composed of a host of ingredients such as colorings and preservatives—and these ingredients are produced all over the world,” said Roger Williams, MD, USP CEO. “Given this reality, ensuring the quality of these ingredients requires global cooperation. We look forward to working together with NINFS on scientific and standards-setting activities that will result in a better food supply for citizens of both countries—and the world.”
