Wageningen University & Research: Rethinking food design from sustainability to longevity
Wageningen University & Research: Rethinking food design from sustainability to longevity

He stresses the need to integrate sensory quality and cultural context into product development and highlights the gap between academic research and commercialization. Fogliano argues that longevity nutrition will be driven less by novel technologies alone and more by smarter redesign of traditional foods that people already know and enjoy.

Nootropics Depot: Bringing pharma-grade quality testing to botanical and mushroom supplements
Advancements in analytical instruments are closing the quality analysis gap between botanical supplements production and pharmaceutical rigor. With a suite of advanced testing methods, Nootropics Depot warns of the risks that come with “identity-only” botanical testing and reliance on “by input” paperwork that bypass actual bioactive assays. The US-based manufacturer and retailer operates multiple laboratories and production buildings equipped with analytical instrumentation and live-cell research capabilities, which are typically reserved for “Big Pharma” development, not conventional supplement manufacturing. This is done to ensure identity and bioactive potency of botanicals, which it says are uncommon in the wider US market.
US beef prices surge as supply crisis triggers political intervention
US beef prices surge as supply crisis triggers political intervention

Food Ingredients First

US beef prices are climbing at nearly six times the rate of overall food inflation, driven by the smallest cattle herd in 75 years and a parasitic fly crisis on the Mexican border. The situation has triggered a rapid political response from the Trump administration, which has ordered antitrust investigations into the country’s dominant meat packers, while simultaneously expanding Argentine import quotas to ease consumer costs. Major processors, including Tyson Foods and JBS, are reporting hundreds of millions of dollars in quarterly beef losses, and the USDA Economic Research Service forecasts wholesale beef prices to rise a further 6.9% this year. On the retail side, grocery chains are reworking their pricing, assortment, and markdown strategies to manage what has become one of the most visible grocery cost pressures on US consumers.
