Description of the research topic:
Alternative proteins, such as plant-based proteins, insect proteins, or lab-grown meats, are becoming increasingly popular due to sustainability and ethical considerations. However, the production and consumption of these types of proteins pose new food safety challenges. Alternative protein sources may contain new types of allergens, the identification and management of which present new challenges for players in veterinary public health. Microbiological contamination that occurs during the production of plant-based proteins and other alternative proteins, such as bacteria, fungi, or toxins, are also important considerations in food safety. New food industry technologies, like the production of meat based on cell culture, require specialized regulatory and safety protocols. The relationship between Veterinary Public Health and the food safety risks of alternative proteins is complex and requires extensive expertise in multiple areas. For the safe introduction and use of new protein sources, veterinarians, public health professionals, nutrition experts, and food safety regulators must work together.
Further requirements: Veterinary or other MSc degree in a field related to food safety
