Sharing these success stories makes us proud to know we have be able to help change lives. I am writing this note to share my overall journey from a IT Consultant to a PV Coordinator.

I spent most of my time looking for contacts and reference in LinkedIn who can suggest a course on Clinical Research. I am a.. READ MORE »

With new studies, claims, and counterclaims being made all the time, people often have differing beliefs over what the best approach is to diet. Sports nutrition, in particular, is in a state of constant change, as nutritionists, trainers, and athletes constantly modify diet plans in a bid to gain an advantage over the competition. Unfortunately, this has resulted in a lot of misinformation over the years. Athletes have come to believe that certain things are helping them when they have no effect at all—or worse, are actually hurting their chances of success.

Food colouring regulation has been one of the most controversial areas of food quality control for a long time. This is because over the years, some food dyes that were previously thought to be safe were eventually found to have harmful effects.

Many pharmaceutical products developed and manufactured in Canada are exported to the United States. As a result, while Canadian regulatory affairs professionals answer primarily to Health Canada, they must also pay special attention to the department’s U.S. equivalent, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA officially came into being in 1906, after the Food and Drug Act was signed into law, with the aim of overseeing products and ensuring a high standard of “strength, quality and purity.” Over the years, the department’s powers have expanded significantly, and today the FDA regulates everything from food and drug products to potentially..

Knowing how to safely handle, store, and prepare foods is an important part of working in the food industry. By implementing proper safety procedures, you’ll be able to keep foods safe and prevent the spread of potentially harmful viruses, bacteria, prions, and other pathogens.
