Consumer protection is best achieved when relevant regulations are available and enforced. So far, no study has analyzed the robustness of regulations on nutrition and health claims in Malawi. In the present study, Malawi’s regulation was compared with Codex Alimentarius as well as European, U.S American, and the Republic of South Africa’s (RSA) regulations on nutrition and health claims. The study revealed that Malawi does not have regulations or guidelines on health claims and therefore, any health claim can be made. Likewise, Malawi’s regulation on nutrition claims was found to be the least demanding and less elaborate. Out of 11 nutrition claims related requirements, the Malawi regulation satisfied only 3. The lack of comprehensive nutrition and health claims regulations in Malawi may give an opportunity to dishonest manufacturers to mislead and deceive consumers. False claims can also derail government’s efforts towards addressing some nutrient deficiencies through food fortification programs. Currently, it is difficult to effectively regulate nutrition and health claims in Malawi. Therefore, the findings are a wake-up call for Malawi and other countries that may be in a similar situation to take the necessary remedial actions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":622,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Consumer Protection and Food Safety","volume":"19 3","pages":"303 - 307"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140811081","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For pesticides, exposure scenarios comprise mixing and loading (M&amp;L) and application. The exposure prediction model recommended by European regulatory agencies for operator risk assessments—the Agricultural Operator Exposure Model (AOEM) – is based on 48 operator exposure studies involving over 500 professional operators from 10 European countries in typical working situations to assess exposure under realistic field conditions. We used the AOEM data to assess the efficiency of exposure reduction resulting from wearing chemical-resistant nitrile gloves and non-certified working coveralls during M&amp;L (tank and backpack sprayer), applications using groundboom and airblast spraying, and outdoor and indoor (greenhouse) applications using handheld sprayers. All studies indicated consistent and high exposure reduction &gt; 90% for gloves and non-certified coveralls across all investigated scenarios. Exceptions were almost exclusively observed when an operator incorrectly used the PPE. The mean exposure reduction from all operators, including those that used PPE incorrectly, was 95.0% for gloves and 96.4% for polyester/cotton working coveralls during M&amp;L, and 91.1% for gloves and 94.9% for non-certified coveralls during all application scenarios. This analysis confirms the essential role of PPE and non-certified working coveralls in reducing operator exposure to pesticides. Outliers indicate that operators need to be properly trained and adhere to label instructions to apply pesticides according to good agricultural practices.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":622,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Consumer Protection and Food Safety","volume":"19 2","pages":"155 - 164"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00003-024-01506-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140656168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Die Ergebnisse von SocialLab II sind in der gesamten landwirtschaftlichen Wertschöpfungskette von Bedeutung: Landwirtschaftliche Betriebe erhalten Einblicke in markt- und gesellschaftliche Anforderungen, was ihr Vertrauen in die Gestaltung neuer Tierhaltungssysteme stärken könnte. Darüber hinaus bietet SocialLab II ein Monitoring-Tool für politische Entscheidungsträger, um Veränderungen in der gesellschaftlichen Wahrnehmung und Akzeptanz der Nutztierhaltung zu messen. Dieses Tool ermöglicht auch eine Anleitung zur Gestaltung des rechtlichen Rahmens für die Nutztierhaltung.

This future workshop examines the desirable developments for agricultural livestock farming from the perspective of all interest groups. The interests in animal welfare, environmental and climate protection were taken into account, as well as the economic and practical requirements of the companies. Challenging for dialogs in the field of transforming animal husbandry are the sheer number of different demands from social groups. On the one hand, more and more interest groups are voicing new demands, for example in the area of climate protection. On the other hand, previously homogeneous interest groups, such as those from agriculture and from animal welfare, are becoming increasingly diversified in terms of goals, strategies and values. Animals are increasingly recognized as a group affected by politics with their own demands, although their political representation is still hardly regulated. This paper includes methodological features of the future workshop on agricultural livestock farming, the identified target images for agricultural livestock farming, effective approaches to stakeholder dialog and insights into the aspects of appreciation and communication in dialog between stakeholders. From a large number of positions and submissions, 3 future scenarios of livestock farming in Germany were identified: (i) higher standards, (ii) system change and reduction and (iii) alternatives to livestock farming. In future, policy measures and dialog formats in the field of livestock farming should disclose where they fit into this spectrum of objectives. Alliances and compromises between the visions of the future are possible in various combinations. Agreement on minimum legal requirements in animal welfare seems particularly urgent, as these form the starting point of the debate. In future, dialog formats should be more open about their contribution to the debate, whereby three functional areas of dialog formats can be distinguished.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":622,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Consumer Protection and Food Safety","volume":"19 1 supplement","pages":"101 - 110"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00003-024-01483-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140612654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vor diesem Hintergrund fokussiert dieser Beitrag (a) welche Kommunikationsinhalte am Point of Sale (nicht) genutzt und als (un)wichtig erachtet werden, (b) welche Veränderungen hinsichtlich des Informationsbedarfs bestehen, (c) welche Kommunikationsträger als potenzielle Informationsquelle am Point of Sale genutzt werden, und (d) welche Labels, die im Bereich der landwirtschaftlichen Nutztierhaltung zur Produktkennzeichnung verwendet werden, hinreichend bekannt und vertrauensvoll sind. Die Ergebnisse weisen darauf hin, dass insbesondere Kommunikationsinhalte zum Preis und zur Haltbarkeit, aber auch zur Haltung der Nutztiere sowie die Kommunikationsträger „Verpackung“ und „Label“ durch Verbraucherinnen und Verbraucher am Point of Sale genutzt werden. Dabei deuten sich bei aktuellen Produktkennzeichnungen und verwendeten Labels für landwirtschaftliche Nutztierhaltung teilweise große Bekanntheitsunterschiede an, wobei wenn Personen ein Label kennen keines der untersuchten Labels im Vergleich einen Vertrauensvorsprung zu haben scheint. Ein konstant wachsender Bedarf an weiteren Informationen zur Tierhaltung (z. B. zu Tiergesundheitsindikatoren) ist jedoch erkennbar. Dieser scheint jedoch durch aktuell bekannte Kommunikationsmaßnahmen am Point of Sale nicht gedeckt zu sein. Durch verstärkte Aufklärung mittels bereits genutzter Kommunikationsträger zur Tierhaltung, wie z.
