Contaminants and Residues in Food - 2024
Representatives from the regulatory bodies, research institutes and industry are presenting the most pressing questions on how to deal with process, environmental and agricultural contaminants as well as residues. We inform you reliably about all regulatory developments and scientific findings of the last few months, e.g. on PFAS, mineral oil, microplastics, arsenic and PBDE.
Contaminants and residues in food are strictly regulated within the European Union. The risk management and toxicological assessment of contaminants and residues, essential to produce compliant products, pose challenges across the entire food industry.
The conference brings together representatives from regulatory and industry backgrounds, as well as political decision-makers to discuss the latest regulatory developments. It keeps track of scientific progress, advances in food analysis and recent developments in risk assessment.
