鈥� IAFNS takes scientific integrity seriously because of the importance of the public鈥檚 trust in the credibility of our food safety and nutrition research. Every research undertaking our board approves must be for the benefit of public health.鈥�

鈥淚n order to generate actionable research, the input of academic, government and industry scientists is extremely valuable as each sector brings unique understandings, knowledge and responsibilities to the table.鈥�

鈥淚nformation-rich problem sets lead to the most confident science policy decisions no matter where you sit.鈥�

鈥淚AFNS' commitment to publishing food safety and nutrition research regardless of its outcome is one of the most important tenets of scientific integrity.鈥�

鈥淣utrition and food safety research that includes the varying perspectives offered by academic, government and industry representatives is the most likely to eliminate biased results.鈥�
