Protected: Workshop ‘Mineral Oil Risk Assessment: Knowledge Gaps and Roadmap’

Brussels, Belgium

There is uncertainty about the exposure to mineral oils, how/what to measure and characterise, and ultimately what this exposure meant in terms of consumer safety. There is consensus between multi-sector stakeholders for a need to address knowledge/data gaps on mineral oils. This activity aimed to bring together tripartite stakeholders across sectors – food and drink, packaging, cosmetics and petroleum − to examine the current approaches used to establish the safety of mineral oil hydrocarbons. This included identification of the data gaps on sources of exposure (both dietary and non-dietary) current analytical methodologies, approaches to risk assessment and potential mitigation risk management measures.

Workshop ‘The Role of Gut Derived Short Chain Fatty Acids in Human Health’

Brussels, Belgium

An expert group set up by ILSI Europe’s Prebiotics Task Force investigated and evaluated the current scientific knowledge on SCFAs as a health benefit/biomarker by providing coherent evidence of their beneficial action(s). Consequently, the focus of this workshop was on the refinement of the drafted manuscript and the conclusion on SCFA production in relation to health.

Workshop ‘How Can Bioassays Help to Assess the Suitability & Applicability of TTC as a Prioritization Tool for Unidentified NIAS in FCMs’

Brussels, Belgium

There is an urgent need to better understand the actual safety significance of food contact materials (FCM) as a source of chemical exposure in humans. This workshop aimed to identify the potential to incorporate various bioassays with the TTC for the identification and safety assessment of FCM, specifically focus on their suitability to address NIAS safety.
