Food Contaminants task force

Position your company on cutting-edge scientific topics. Join companies, academics and public authorities to work on enhancing our understanding of food contaminants. The Task Force focuses on: - Advancing scientific knowledge on various contaminants, particularly assessing their impact on human health; - Addressing research gaps in toxicity, exposure, and analytical aspects; - Reviewing mitigation measures and supporting risk management strategies. Ongoing activity is focused on unintentional substances in food and their rapid risk assessment to inform risk management. As there is no harmonized approach between Food Businesses and other stakeholders on how to perform and communicate a rapid risk assessment, a toolkit will be proposed and provide a systematic approach for risk analysis of incidents, discussing the degree of uncertainties and will be informed by existing scientific guidances and practical experience of the participants. Risk communication will also be addressed. In the Pipeline are activities related to - Guidance on contaminant management for food business operators; - Risk level of PFAS in food and drinking water.
