The Centre employs a team of scientific, nutrition and communications professionals to manage its programmes. AFIC plays no role in the marketing of individual ingredients or products, nor are its programmes designed to benefit any particular companies.
New research is reported daily in the dynamic fields of food safety, diet and nutrition.
This ever-increasing volume of technical information makes it difficult for health professionals and the media to keep abreast of the latest scientific developments. Asian consumers have also become more aware of the relationship between diet and health. They genuinely desire reliable information. Accurate information about food safety, nutrition and health needs to be communicated clearly to both opinion leaders and consumers. The Asian Food Information Centre was established to meet this need.
