USA
Mar 23, 2025
Nanomaterials offer promising applications in the food industry, enhancing safety, quality, and functionality. However, their unique properties necessitate rigorous evaluation and regulation. This review explores the current state of nanomaterials in food, including their potential benefits and associated risks. It covers the regulatory landscape, emphasizing the need for standardized guidelines and risk assessment frameworks for Indian and global market. To ensure the safe and responsible use of nanomaterials, it is crucial to conduct thorough safety assessments, implement proper labeling and consumer information. Continuous research and development are necessary to explore new applications of nanomaterials while mitigating potential risks. By fostering collaboration between scientists, regulators, industry stakeholders, and consumers, it is possible to address the challenges associated with nanomaterials. Ultimately, a balanced approach that prioritizes safety and consumer well-being is crucial for the successful integration of nanotechnology into the food industry. Through addressing the challenges associated with commercialization of nano-based agri-feed inputs and nano-food products, it is possible to harness the potential benefits of nanotechnology for a sustainable, improved and innovative food systems while safeguarding public health and the environment.
