In response to the reported inadequate iodine intake of Filipinos as reflected in the results of the Department of Science and Technology’s Food and Nutrition Research Institute (DOST–FNRI)- Expanded National Nutrition Survey (ENNS) in 2021, DOST–FNRI developed a technology for Iodine-Rich Drinking Water or “Tubig Talino”.

DOST-FNRI continuously transfers this to qualified adoptors, like operators of water refilling stations, to help combat iodine deficiency.

Drinking five glasses of "Tubig Talino" at 250 milliliters (mL) each can meet 33 percent of the daily iodine requirement of the body.

This summer, one common issue is the rapid spoilage of food due to use of contaminated ingredients or poor handling and preparation of food.

With this concern in mind, researchers from the University of Santo Tomas (UST) explored the use of bacteriophages in maintaining food safety, with support from the Department of Science and Technology - Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (DOST-PCHRD).

Bacteriophages (BPs) are viruses that can infect and kill bacteria without any negative effect on human or animal cells. They are also considered to be cost-effective, accessible, and able to withstand food preparation conditions, and can have a relatively long shelf life, which are relevant in maintaining food safety.
