Prof Guy Poppy, Chief Scientific Adviser to the FSA

From horsemeat to campylobacter, these have been difficult times for trust in our food chain. One of the top academics grappling with issues in the food we eat is Professor Guy Poppy, the new(ish) Chief Scientific Adviser to the FSA. After the publication of his latest scientific report, the SMC has invited Guy in for a chat about his role at the FSA and his thoughts on some topical controversies in food.

Guy came to discuss his thoughts on:

• Why globalised food systems matter to UK consumers
• How big data and the internet could keep food safe for UK consumers
• Why our gut matters to our health and the environment

Speaker:

Prof. Guy Poppy, Chief Scientific Adviser, Food Standards Agency (FSA)
