How does IFIC work with experts?
We rely on a network of more than 350 credentialed experts in food safety, health and nutrition. Many of these experts are based at universities and all are accomplished in their fields. These experts review the accuracy and context of our information and educational materials, help us understand emerging issues, write journal articles, participate in Web casts, and speak at conferences around the world. In addition, when reporters contact us seeking information, we often refer them to relevant experts who can help inform the public at large. We have no control over whether or not experts respond to the reporters who reach out to them. Similarly, we do not approve their remarks or have control over what these experts say. We never ask experts to speak in support of any company, product, brand or industry. We do not pay experts for media interviews.
