At the forefront of healthy, safe and sustainable food

International researchers, including from DTU National Food Institute, warn that the ongoing mpox outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has the potential to spread across borders more rapidly. The mpox virus has mutated, and the new variant, clade 1b, has become more infectious.

The microalga Nannochloropsis oceanica holds potential as a valuable source of sustainably produced nutrients such as protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin K2. A new study from DTU shows that cultivation conditions, particularly temperature and light, play a significant role in the yield.

Danish-produced fruit and vegetables contain fewer pesticide residues than imported ones, and in general, pesticide residues in fruit and vegetables on the Danish market pose a negligible health risk when consuming a varied diet. This is shown by the collection of monitoring data from 2018-2022 and a risk assessment of the total exposure in a new report from DTU National Food Institute.
