Healthiness and safety of food is becoming increasingly important. Not only because consumers demand more information about the foods they consume, but with ever increasing European regulations such scientific evidence is required before new claims or new products can even be sold to the consumer.

The Centre for Healthy Eating and Food Innovation (HEFI) is focused on the promotion of healthy eating by researching the effects of food on human health, developing innovative, healthy food products and advancing the promotion of healthy dietary habits.

Research by the Centre for Healthy Eating and Food Innovation (HEFI) is organised in three topics:

• Microbiology of the gastrointestinal tract
• Behavioral gastronomy
• Food innovation and health

BISCI seeks to apply the latest results of logistics research to address the challenges of service providers in the region and beyond. In addition, the institute trains the next generation of professionals who can contribute to supply chain innovation in the industry.
