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.
