“…In terms of effective food safety information publicizing, health inspectors chose the online clearinghouse of web-based databases (50.8%) and email newsletters, as their preferred platforms (40.2%) [ 12 ]. Furthermore, Gilardi and Fubini (2005) identified the authentic Internet resources focusing on food safety information to be international organizations, European organizations, U.S. national organizations and databases [ 40 ]. A study carried out by Simeonea and Scarpatobs (2020) was in line with Pham et al’s (2019), in which organic food consumers who were critical of and cared for the supply chain of the organic food would refer to official websites and channels on food safety information rather than referring to the information shared on social media [ 41 ].…”

Food safety is an important indicator of public health, as foodborne illnesses continue to cause productivity and economic loss. In recent years, web-based applications have been extensively used by the online users’ population. Almost one third (28.3%) of online users found web-based application to be a notable source of food safety information. The objective of the current review is to determine the effectiveness of a web-based application systems as a health promotion tool for consumers to increase their knowledge and awareness of food safety. A systematic literature review was conducted by analyzing 11 selected web-based food safety education-related articles. The studies were categorized into several themes: (1) web-based applications used in accessing food safety information; (2) food safety evaluation and perception among consumers; (3) beliefs and level of knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) of consumers; and (4) impact and contribution of social media use. A diverse number of online applications have been utilized to promote food safety education among consumers, yet these web-based applications need to be improved with regards to social connection and integration among consumers. KAP surveys were conducted on the majority of the respondents with a particular focus on their knowledge level. Findings show that web-based applications may act as an alternative to the traditional media in enhancing food safety education among consumers, especially youths who are tech-savvy.

“…Os níveis de acrilamida variaram entre menos de 20 μg/kg e 2528 μg/kg, dependendo do tipo do produto. Os resultados mostraram que os maiores níveis foram encontrados em produtos à base de batata, como batatas fritas, batatas chips e batata palha, variando entre 144 e 2528 μg/kg (GILARDI e FUBINI, 2005).…”

Este artigo apresenta revisão de literatura sobre a quantidade de acrilamida em alimentos ricos em carboidratos, quando fritos, cozidos ou assados em altas temperaturas, principalmente batatas fritas e batatas chips. Foram abordados os mecanismos de formação de acrilamida em alimentos, os níveis de ingestão em diversos países, os métodos para redução da acrilamida em alimentos, além dos aspectos toxicológicos dessa substância. Os métodos para redução da acrilamida em batatas têm resultado em alguns sucessos, mas não há abordagem comum que funcione para todos os alimentos. Alguns estudos epidemiológicos sobre a relação entre o consumo de acrilamida e diferentes tipos de câncer têm sido evidenciados, porém são insuficientes para indicar que a quantidade de acrilamida consumida na dieta normal pode resultar em efeitos adversos à saúde humana, particularmente o câncer.

“…Despite that, valuable toxicological data published in the Russian language have remained non-cited in recent scientific papers (Hakkinen and Green, 2002;Schwela and Hakkinen, 2004;Poppenga and Spoo, 2002;Junghans et al, 2004;Young, 2002;Russom, 2002;Winter, 2002;Wolfgang and Johnson, 2002;Felsot, 2002;Gilardi and Fubini, 2005) except when these were the only information sources available concerning a particular compound (Polifka and Faustman, 2002). Within the frame of the EC FP6 Integrated Project OSIRIS, the Estonian partner (research group of Dr. A. Kahru) proposed to collect those materials due to their knowledge of the Russian language and their access to the corresponding literature archived in Estonian libraries during the last century.…”
