IEAS is a gathering of experts from around the world who meet to shed light on the current and future challenges in food safety, nutrition and sustainability. It is also an opportunity for stakeholders to take part in the debate around those topics and create connections. 
This year, we also propose as a side event an interdisciplinary interactive workshop on the health benefits of prebiotics.

	Wednesday 25 October: Prebiotics "sandpit"

Identifying knowledge gaps and a roadmap for building a health claims portfolio


	Interdisciplinary interactive workshop organised by the Prebiotic Task Force to identify current gaps in scientific understanding and support for prebiotic health benefits and the link to microbiota modulation.
Objectives

Provide a state-of-the-art overview of the scientific evidence on the health benefits of prebiotics and the link to microbiota modulation.
Identify the current routes to make a prebiotic claim for food or food supplements in Europe and compare these with worldwide health claim regulations (e.g. North America, Asia-Pacific).
Design and co-build a roadmap to progress scientific support for prebiotic health effects and health claim substantiation.
