The University
of Florida has introduced a new seafood safety specialist for Florida Sea Grant
to help ensure Gulf seafood remains safe to eat.
George Baker is an assistant
professor in food science and human nutrition at the University.
He will now also give seafood
processors the best scientific data from the University of Florida Institute of
Food and Agricultural Sciences and other sources.
And he’ll train processors and
others in seafood safety.
Baker wants to help develop
methods to detect chemical compounds that would hinder seafood safety, and he
hopes to generate and disseminate basic nutritional information or analysis.
The seafood industry often
battles negative public perceptions, particularly with raw seafood.
Programs like Sea Grant can help
determine what the impacts of these events might be, and if consumers should
avoid consuming seafood.
