Background
As consumers are often exposed to naturally occurring contaminants and process-related compounds in their diets, it is crucial to investigate how these compounds are formed in order to improve how we detect and measure them and to assess their safety.
- To present scientific topics related to process-related compounds which includes toxins, hydrocarbon, mineral oils among others;
- To identify topics of research with a wide audience of stakeholders;
- To strengthen interaction between young researchers from the University of Parma and ILSI Europe.
Activity
The symposium took place on 18 September 2018 in Parma, Italy.
This seminar, organised by the ILSI Europe Process-Related Compounds Task Force (PRC TF) tackled subjects relating to such substances, particularly focusing on assessing their impact on human health.
