  • Prioritizing Hazards in Infant Foods

    Organized by: Modelling and Risk Analysis PDG & International Food Protection Issues PDG

    The webinar will address how food producers can prioritize hazards and rank risks in infant foods that differ in ingredients, process treatment and storage conditions. In addition, the consumer perception of risks associated with infant foods will be compared with experts’ opinion and outputs of science-based risks assessments. This webinar has been developed in the framework of the European project SAFFI. SAFFI aims at developing an integrated approach to enhance the identification, assessment, detection and mitigation of safety risks raised by microbial and chemical hazards along infant food chains.

    Learning Objectives:
    By attending this webinar, the participants will
    -be introduced to online available tools to identify microbial hazards and rank risks.
    -learn how different microorganisms can be grouped with respect to their resistance
    -understand how consumer perception differs from science-based risks assessment and experts’ opinions.

  • How Can We Effectively Reuse Water End-To-End: Creating Equitable Future

    Organized by: Beverages and Acid/Acidified Foods PDG

    Water supplies are coming under increasing pressure as climate change and pollution growth affect water supplies.

    Water reuse is a process to treat and reuse water as potable and non-potable water supplies. Reuse water can provide alternative supplies to enhance water security, sustainability, and resilience.

    Bacterial and viral pathogens, chemical contaminants such as nitrogen and phosphorus compounds, pharmaceuticals, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, cleaning and disinfecting chemicals, metals, salts, byproducts formed during processing, and mineral oils are commonly found in wastewater.

    Our panel of leaders will discuss how water reuse can be a critical tool in promoting sustainability and water security. The panel will provide insights on the current regulatory landscape, microbiological and chemical hazards, risk mitigation, information and experiences in water treatment programs, targeted and non-targeted compounds in treated water for validation and verification of safety of reuse water.

    Learning Objectives:
    Bacterial and chemical contaminants found in waste water, risk associated with reuse water as an ingredient or potable water, and mitigation technologies will be discussed.
