Globally there is an increased interest amongst government agencies, industry and academic experts in the integration of risk assessment as a part of allergen management, including as input into decisions on precautionary allergen labelling (PAL). Despite the increased maturity of allergen risk assessment approaches, which includes basic criteria on how calculations can be performed, there is a lack of consensus on practical deployment. This is a significant gap, as only with such consensus across all stakeholders and especially food operators can there be more accurate and meaningful PAL.
Through a series of stakeholder workshops, this project defined consensus on the methodologies needed for quantitative risk assessment by food business operators, and their implementation:

About the ESTIV CongressesThe European Society of Toxicology In Vitro (ESTIV) is organized every two years. The ESTIV2022 congress aims to create a forum of scientists in a unique atmosphere for discussions and the exchange of knowledge. Its objective is also to promote contact between junior and senior researchers, students and toxicologists from European companies, governments and universities involved in the development and use of in vitro and in silico approaches. The congress is expected to include 500+ attendees and 30+ exhibitors.
For more details and registration, please visit the event's website.

AbstractUnderstanding the impact of the microbiota on the gut brain axis is key to exploring prophylactic or therapeutic approaches. The complexity and interindividual diversity of the gut microbiota, the impact of environment, diet, drugs and stresses, make it difficult to manage or manipulate the microbiota. Learnings from animal models, especially humanised rodent models, from 3D brain and gut organoids or advanced co-culture systems, can help understand the complex interactions between the host and his/her microbiota.
New sophisticated diagnostic tools applied in humans allow to not only know "who" is there, but also "what are they doing there". When applied on a large number of people, healthy and diseased, accumulated data will feed artificial intelligence algorithms, permitting to identify high-risk patients at an early stage, determine imbalances, whether microbiological, immunological, endocrinological or metabolic in nature, and suggest possible prophylactic interventions to mitigate risks.
