World Food Safety Day 2019
The first-ever World Food Safety Day, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in December 2018, is celebrated TODAY! Our Head of Food Safety & Nutrition Sandrine Pigat as well as Food Scientist Foteini Bompola took some time out to answer a few pressing questions on food safety in 2019.
Sequencing techniques can shape the future of food safety
From a consumer health perspective, it’s vital that we can be sure the foods we eat are safe and are not going to make us ill. Microbial testing is one of the core components of QC in a food production environment to ensure there are no harmful bugs are slipping through into the final product.
Modelling the effects of climate change on food safety
Creme Global took part in the the Kick-off meeting for new EU Horizon 2020 project – PROTECT.
Types of Exposure in personal care and cosmetics
Studying different types of exposure such as from which route we are exposed, or chronic exposure, allows us to examine a range of scenarios.
Risk Ranking of Food Safety Hazards
Risk ranking is a technique that can be used to identify the most significant risks, thereby prioritising them in a given situation to enable efficient and effective management decision making.
The Top 10 Reasons We Created an AI/ML Steering Group in Creme Global
Creme Global has always been at the cutting edge of data science and computing since its formation in 2005. With the increasing number of businesses across a wide range of industries requiring AI/ML to stay at the cutting edge, we have formed a dedicated AI/ML steering group.
Creme Global partners on the FDI Evolution of food & drink in Ireland report
Creme Global’s collaboration with Food Drink Ireland (FDI), culminated in the launch of a new report titled FDI Evolution of food and drink in Ireland 2005 -2017. The report shows the decreases in sugar and saturated fat in Irish diets between 2005 and 2017 as a result of voluntary undertakings by food and drink companies.

Trans Fatty Acids – The Indisputable Enemy
When it comes to healthy eating, there are plenty of different opinions, information and myths out there. No other scientific topic, affecting everybody, seems to be discussed this controversially than the optimal ingredients for a healthy diet.
Saturated Fat and Heart Health – The Story of Cheese and Dairy
Most CVDs can be prevented by modifying our behaviour: not smoking, reducing our alcohol intake, being physically active and watching our weight and waistlines. Monitoring our diet, particularly our intakes of saturated fat, is also important.
The Future of Packaging is our latest H2020 project: GLOPACK
The next generation of packaging should be eco-efficient in respect to its source, usage benefit and end of life. Packaging should reduce food waste and preserve food quality and safety.
From John Snow to Dr. Strange
Data science is about extracting knowledge from data, discovering patterns and building insights through records and facts. Contrary to popular belief, it is the opposite of trying to prove something.
The benefits and hazards of using insects for food and feed
Insects are a source of energy, protein, fat, minerals and vitamins. Mean estimates show energy levels to be around 400–500 kcal per 100 g of dry matter, making them comparable with other protein sources. However, there are some potential biological, chemical and environmental hazards associated with the use of farmed insects as food and feed.
Petrarch and the mathematics of love
Love is the theme of the great majority of songs, poems, books, films, theatre show and any sort of artistic expression. Probably it is not too far-fetched to say that everyone wants to love and be loved; all of us dream of finding the “twin-soul” with whom share the rest of the life and being surrounded by many friends. “All you need is love”, according to The Beatles.
Using Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) Data to Inform Food Safety Decisions
Prof. Fanning has been helping develop applications around genome sequencing to minimise risks in global food production and improve food safety decision-making. Two practical outcomes
