Case 1 When good results are bad results Professor Ballistico is developing a research that is looking for the side effects of food additives in frozen food; the project itself is producing good publications. He is also a director of Foodcorp Centre for Food Science at BigCity University. Foodcorp also gave fund to the Bigcity University to set up the research about frozen food. Professor Ballistico recently founded out that the results from two of products “Longlife and Rotnever”, may cause significantly human allergies of the addictive’s. Ethical Issues: • Publish the right results of the experiment and be honestly about the human allergies, because the consumers have the right to know about the products they are buying and also can affect the sponsored to the University. • Tell about the results he found to Foodcorp in privately, so they can find out a way to advise the public about the problem and prevent loss. • Tell the university about the results, so them can make a decision to publish to results or not. • Tell his employees about the whole situation. How he can prevent the problems in the future? Advice the stakeholders about the problem, so he can avoid the problem in the future and all of them together take an action about the problem and deal with it, creating a common sense that suits all, stakeholders, professor Ballistico and customers. I believe that the researches should be done about the problem and try to solve it. In case they don’t announce the
Today many of the foods we buy from the store, especially packaged foods contain food additives and food dyes and majority of the population knows chemicals that are added to foods are not healthy choices and may lead to negative health effects. In this paper I will be discussing how food additives and food dyes promote and trigger a health problem known as ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). According to Health Canada “a food additive is any chemical substance that is added to food during preparation or storage and either becomes a part of the food or affects its characteristics for the purpose of achieving a particular technical effect (1).” Food products containing food additives
The first objective is to study the effect of food processing on molecular structure of processed food. This objective will be achieved through applying detailed molecular structure characterization studies on food processed under different processing parameters. This objective is aiming fundamental knowledge on processing effect on food structure with relating food structure to their functionality.
First, the author enables to present the different global concerns about the negative impact of fast food towards the health of the public, which include obesity. She also manages to connect other important aspects of one supply chain of the company, which is the artificial maker of flavors, where in, she mentioned to be highly reserved.
Part 1 The way people perceive taste is impacted by a number of factors. These include, but are not limited to, age, weight, hormones, sickness and disease, smoking, and diet. Diet is the factor that this paper focuses on. Diet is impacted by the way people taste in that people are used to eating a certain amount of additives and preservatives. Some eat a very low amount, while for others, everything they eat contains additives and preservatives. There is a large range, but this paper will be focusing on two sides: people who eat a moderate to high amount of additives and preservatives in their daily life —this group will be referred to as Group 1—and people who eat very little to none—this group will be referred to as Group 2.
By canning, freezing, and dehydrating techniques used to process food destroy most of its flavor.” (120). The International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF) company (which is a huge company that manufactures different types of flavors and fragrances through the process of coalescing chemicals. The IFF corporation has branches that vary all over the nation, they are accountable for the different types of flavors of so many foods, drinks, and many personal hygienic products like gum, soap, toothpaste, perfume and body wash.” The basic science behind the scent of your shaving cream is the same as that governing the flavor of your TV dinner.” (122) It is very outrageous that the flavors of the food we consume are created by the mixing of chemicals that the IFF undertakes. Consuming foods that have been chemically fabricated is not a substance our bodies would benefit from. Consumption of chemicals shouldn’t ever be acceptable. Fast food industries have lowered their standards, they prioritize the act of making money in any means possible over the evident facts on why chemicals should not be administered into our
3. Write a report to your manager about the results, distilling down the results in a way that would be understandable to someone who does not know statistics. Clear explanations and interpretations are critical.
Its 3’oclock, the kids will be home from school soon, you have to take one to basketball, the other to soccer practice, and feed your spouse when they arrive home. You don’t want to spend hours cooking a healthy meal but what choice do you have? The children need to eat something healthy and your spouse will want a hot meal on the table when they arrive home after working a grueling 8 hour shift. You look in the pantry, everything located there is not very healthy or will take hours to prepare and make. You could run down to the local hamburger fast food place, but the food they serve is not very good, and definitely not healthy, also after a while it becomes very expensive if you were to do this every time you had a day like this. Then something reminds you, there are bread buns in the bread box, then there is that pulled pork BBQ that you made way to much of two months ago sitting in a baggie in the freezer. There is your dinner! The family will be happy and you can throw it on the stove and cook a quick meal.
Animal activists and scientists experience ongoing conflict between animal experimentation and biomedical ethics. Animal testing is one of the oldest methods of experimentation. In the 1980s, the animal rights movement and the argument surrounding the ethics came under fire. As a result of this movement, the experimental procedures became public, giving more incentive to the activists and momentum to their cause. The ethics of animal experimentation come into question in everything from beauty products to the food and vitamins that are sent to consumers worldwide. However, because of the industries ' involvement within animal experimentation, many consumers do not know how these products they are purchasing are tested. Although the ethics of experimentation have come into question, new ideas of experimentation have progressed. Within the biomedical field, new testing methods for both medicine and beauty products have evolved. Because of this new technology, activists against animal experimentation argue that the necessity of animal experimentation is unneeded. In contrast, scientists argue it is not outdated. Despite the progress made by the activists many scientists still believe that animal experimentation will be needed. Although animal testing may have served as a useful tool in the past, it no longer is as accurate as the new technology and research methods from the 21st century.

Spam is a brand name for a canned meat product containing ham, pork, salt, flavourings, and preservatives that are mixed and cooked under vacuum pressure. The product was made in 1937 and it became popular around WWII where it was recognized by the United States and Russian soldiers. After the war, the product became popular and well known around the world. Over the years consumers wondered about the product, and if it was healthy because of the simple ingredients. This issue made a big difference on the popularly of the product. In today’s society, canned food has become a big issue whether it is healthy or not because of the chemicals and preparation. There are many reasons why Spam is not healthy, and some main reasons are the
Nutritional Foods Inc., a company that manufactures healthful products, has a major problem to address. Some of the company's products are allegedly responsible for a number of acute food poisoning cases. The problem has escalated from just a few cases of food poisoning to dozens of other reported cases. The company's chief executive, Fred James, has convened an emergency meeting comprising of members of the Crisis Action Committee. The key agenda of the meeting is how the situation that is threatening to get out of hand should be handled.
In the beginning Terrill called the engineers for meeting and showed highly concern about the personal welfare and asked the question about problem, lacked in productivity and turn over. Engineers replied and show many complain without any hesitation. They asked about their job responsibility and response from the management for their work done. They blamed to the management, its negligence about the report and for the further implementation of issues covered by the report. After two-hour discussion in the meeting, Terrill summarized the future plan and condition. He promised the engineer to stay out of their work and feel free to continue the work that has been asked by top management. He prepared the meeting report as a daily report. He can submit his report though mail but he preferred it to bring with him to headquarter for quick and effective response from the board. In fact, he presented himself as a supporter, open minded and highly serious about his job responsibility. According to the two-dimensional model of Black and
One of the leading industries in the United States is the cosmetics business. When cosmetics started up people were applying all different types of product to their bodies. While using the products, people were starting to acquire serious injuries to their skin and hair. This forced make-up producers to figure out a way to test the products before it hit the market. In the 1940s, scientists started to use animals for testing purposes. In recent years, testing on animals has decreased because producers use safer ingredients in their products. Even though there are safe ingredients, people continue to experiment with new chemicals and dyes. To avoid major lawsuits, companies still experiment on animals to prove the product is safe. With all these new products, the Food and Drug
3. Professor Ballistico should tell Foodcrop first about the result of the research and advise them to take appropriate action to deal with the food additives and then announce the result. This is because if the centre does not announce the result, other researchers will do the similar research next time and hence the long-term benefit will also be harmed at that time. The centre will also help the corporation to find out the substitutes for the additives. Publication of the result will not only benefit the corporation, but also the university. This was because, if such a conflict of interest is revealed in the future, the reputation of the university will also be badly affected. This will consequently reduce the funding from other sources.
Consumers are concerned about product safety and the use of animal testing by cosmetic companies.
