Özet

After the COVID-19 pandemic, innovative methods have emerged for the management of food safety, child nutrition has become more important than ever, and increasing attention has been paid to the consequences of COVID-19. For instance, since SARS CoV-2 is an animal-based zoonotic virus, there is a changing trend in consumer pref erences from conventional meat products to cultured meat and vegan supplementation. Due to the effects mentioned, this chapter provides strategic guidance on novel foods, food safety innovations, and novel health and safety procedures in public places such as restaurants or bars. There are also long-term health impacts on children in the aftermath of COVID-19. Since the risk of myopia is one of the important long-term effects to be considered, trending nutritional immunology approaches are presented to reduce emerging problems in child eye health. The enhance ment of immune system remains problematic for many children considering that they can not use the COVID-19 vaccine. Therefore, this chapter also emphasizes the importance of breastfeeding on the side effects of viral infections and new supplements, such as probiotic drops, to improve children’s and babies’ immune health. Additionally, efforts should be undertaken to improve nanoen capsulation techniques to prepare for future epidemics and pandemics. Nanomaterial supported nutraceuticals, nanoencapsulation of functional ingredients or their nanoparti cles, and nano-combination of phytochemi cals, fatty acids, or probiotics should be investigated to improve the immunity of chil dren. In this sense, detailed further research in this area needs to be adapted to innovative technologies for the treatment of infants and children against future zoonotic viruses.
