IFIS, the proud producers of FSTA - an intelligence service
constantly monitoring developments in the areas of food science,
technology and nutrition - today celebrated the inclusion of the
one millionth record. This momentous achievement underscores IFIS'
commitment as the leading international information provider and
distributor of food and drink related information.
The source of the record is July's edition of the
Journal of Food Protection (JFP), specifically the
article by Riikka Ket-Timonen et al 'Inhibition of Toxigenesis of
Group II (Noproteolytic) Clostridium botulinum Type B in Meat
Products by Using a Reduced Level of Nitrite'.
First published in 1937, JFP is a refereed monthly publication.
Each issue contains scientific research and authoritative review
articles reporting on a variety of topics in food science
pertaining to food safety and quality. The journal is
internationally recognised as one of the leading publications in
its field with a readership exceeding 11,000 scientists from 69
countries.
'We congratulate IFIS for achieving its one-millionth entry into
FSTA, said David W. Tharp, CAE, Executive Director of the International Association
for Food Protection (IAFP). 'The International Association
for Food Protection is proud to have an article from our
publication, the Journal of Food Protection, selected to be the
honoured entry. We wish FSTA continued success in serving the food
science community.'
