“Emerging and persisting food hazards: Analytical challenges and socio-economic impact”
The conference will set out the state of the art on managing emerging and persisting food scares and the related analytical challenges and socio-economic impact that are connected with this issue. In particular we will provide an in-depth look at the following thematic areas:
· Food Safety Standards
· Mycotoxins/Phycotoxins
· Food Allergens
· Food Authenticity and Traceability
· Chemical Contaminants
· Microbiological Contaminants
· Food Additives and Processing Toxicants
· Emerging Food Hazards
· Novel Analytical Technologies
The conference will also feature results from the related projects BioCop (www.biocop.org) and Conffidence (www.conffidence.eu). This event should not be missed by food quality and safety scientists and trainers, food safety managers from industry, academia and regulatory bodies as well as representatives from food manufacturers, retailers, providers of rapid and high throughput analytical methods and instruments. Food quality and HACCP practitioners, standardisation and validation organisations and representatives of consumer and trade organisations will also benefit from this event.
