Food safety testing webinars: Mycotoxins, pesticides and food contact materials
Listen to leading experts in the fields of mycotoxins testing, pesticides testing and food contact materials testing
23 Aug 2022
With the food industry subject to increasing scrutiny, comprehensive testing solutions are required to determine the authenticity and contaminant-free status of food products, and to ensure their compliance with safety regulations.
In this SelectScience® roundtable webinar series, we brought together leading experts in the fields of pesticides analysis, mycotoxin testing, and food contact materials characterization to discuss the latest trends in these areas and the laboratory innovations set to transform the future of food safety testing.
This series consists of three panel discussions, which are now available to watch on demand.
Webinar 1: Pesticide testing: Modernizing pesticides analysis
Watch this webinar to learn about current challenges and solutions in the field of pesticide testing. Listen to three leading experts in pesticides analysis: Susanne Ekroth from the Swedish Food Agency, Dr. Jim Garvey from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Ireland, and Steven Lehotay, USDA-ARS. Explore the changes to residual pesticide testing that have occurred in the past few years and look ahead to what the future of the pesticide testing field might look like.
Webinar 2: Food contact materials testing: Measuring migration from food contact materials
Watch this webinar to explore the science of food contact materials testing with Dr. Yelena Sapozhnikova, USDA-ARS, Cristina Nerín, University of Zaragoza and Tim Stratton, Thermo Fisher Scientific. Understand more about the risks of the migration of food contact materials into food and drink, and discuss the challenges posed by their detection.
Webinar 3: Mycotoxins testing: Identifying and controlling mycotoxins in livestock and food products
In this final webinar of the series, join us to learn more about mycotoxin testing in food analysis as we hear from three experts Jana Hajšlová, UCT Prague, Dwayne Schrunk, Iowa State University, and Dr. Olaf Scheibner, Thermo Fisher Scientific. Discover more about the mycotoxins that can penetrate deeply into foodstuffs and explore concerns that go beyond the ‘big six’ mycotoxin classes to look at the emerging and multiclass mycotoxin risks of the future.
