Regulatory environment: incentive or impediment to developments in food science and technology.
The regulatory environment is one of several key factors that impact successful technological development and commercialization. The current process of developing and implementing regulations is extremely complex and does not always apply the principle of benefit:risk and balance protection with progress. Although the current system is effective in protecting consumers, it tends to impede technological innovation. To help improve balance and effectiveness, an independent "food regulatory board" is recommended.
