Ohio State University and the University of Wales have agreed to collaborate on food safety research.

Ohio State University and Cardiff Metropolitan University recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). It was founded by Ellen Evans of ZERO2FIVE Food Industry Center at Cardiff Met University and Sanja Ilic of the College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences in Ohio.

Emphasis is placed on vulnerable patient groups, part of the work carried out by both institutions. In the United States, data is being collected to look at nutritionist training in food safety, and the collaboration has resulted in two publications and four conference presentations, with more planned.

The first study, published in 2021, looked at the attitudes of student nutritionists from three international institutions towards food safety. The second was about the role of nutritionists in providing food safety information.

The output of the conference included the European Symposium of the International Food Protection Association (IAFP) in Munich in May 2022 and the Virtual Annual Meeting of the IAFP in October 2020. Two papers were also presented at the Virtual Conference on Food Safety Education for Consumers (CFSE).

Evans is advising a PhD student at Ohio State University who uses the findings of the research product in ZERO2FIVE as a basis for developing targeted food safety interventions for cancer patients.

“With this Memorandum of Understanding, we will be able to conduct further important research together that will help protect the most vulnerable in society from the risk of foodborne disease,” Evans said.

With the support of the Welsh government, ZERO2FIVE works with food and beverage companies of all sizes to provide factory design support, commissioning advice, new product development, third party certification and compliance with food standards including BRCGS and SALSA, food safety and security, food and labeling legislation, nutrition, market analysis and marketing.

The Memorandum of Understanding was signed on behalf of Cardiff Met University by Professor Katie Thirlaway, Dean of the Cardiff School of Sport and Health Sciences.

“One of Cardiff Met University’s strategic priorities is to build and strengthen our global connections by connecting with partner universities around the world to conduct research with global relevance and impact,” said Thirlaway.
