Its work may be invisible to most people, but it sits behind everyday decisions: what appears on a food label, how contaminants are controlled, how additives are assessed, how hygiene rules are applied, and how countries agree that food is safe to trade.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style= "font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'BlinkMacSystemFont',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: BlinkMacSystemFont; mso-bidi-font-family: BlinkMacSystemFont;" xml:lang="EN-US">Katrin and Sarah also discuss the difficult process of reaching agreement between countries, why some standards take years to develop, and how science helps create common ground in a world of different regulations, risks and food systems.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style= "font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'BlinkMacSystemFont',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: BlinkMacSystemFont; mso-bidi-font-family: BlinkMacSystemFont;" xml:lang="EN-US">Finally, Sarah looks to the future: a warming planet, changing food safety hazards, water scarcity, seaweed, cell-based foods and the new questions regulators will need to answer.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style= "font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'BlinkMacSystemFont',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: BlinkMacSystemFont; mso-bidi-font-family: BlinkMacSystemFont;" xml:lang="EN-US">A conversation about the quiet global work that helps keep food safe, and why it shapes our lives more than we realise.</span></p>
