Asian Food Information Centre Opens

A new organization has been set up to help communicate information about nutrition and food safety issues.

Known as the Asian Food Information Centre (AFIC), the organization opened its first office in Singapore in July.

AFIC is a non-profit organization which covers the entire Asian region. Its mission is to serve as a link in relaying science-based information between the scientific community, health professionals, government agencies, food manufacturers and the media.

“New research is reported almost daily in the area of food safety, nutrition and diet,” said Julie Howden, Executive Director of AFIC. “The sheer volume of the information available, together with its technical nature, can make it difficult for the media and health professional to keep abreast of the latest scientific information. AFIC will help to meet their needs.”

Supported by a number of leading food and beverage companies, AFIC employs a team of scientific, nutrition and communications professionals to manage its programs. Publications include this quarterly newsletter, Food Facts Asia, and a variety of brochures and articles. In addition, AFIC will organize seminars and workshops on topical issues in food and nutrition for health professionals, the media and educators. AFIC will also serve as a resource centre for information on food issues for health professionals, the media and consumers.
