To bolster academic research and foster industrial innovation in the field of global food safety and health， while supporting government decision-making and addressing industry priorities， the Chinese Institute of Food Science and Technology (CIFST)， in collaboration with the International Union of Food Science and Technology (IUFoST)， had jointly launched an initiative on global research hotspots in food safety and health. Drawing on current research and the insights of leading experts from related fields worldwide， the latest research hotspots and trends in global food safety and health had been distilled and formulated. The outcomes will play a crucial role in promoting interdisciplinary collaboration， forecasting future research trends in global food safety and health， and seizing the initiative in technological and developmental innovation in the food sector， thereby providing valuable guidance for leading industrial innovation and growth.
