Why this event  

Plant-based foods (PBFs) and beverages are more and more present on the table of Americans and Europeans. Meat and dairy products made using protein from plants, engineered micro-organisms, or fungi are certainly eco-friendly and good for vegetarians, but several studies and reports discovered that new safety risks can be associated with the consumption of those products. While there are many events where you can listen to a debate about the nutritional characteristics of PBFs or about the technologies used for the production, you can find very little about the food safety and food fraud issues.

 

The format  

As in any Affidia Talks, we have first of all a clear separation between the free opinions of experts, the points-of-view of the stakeholders, and the advertisements of suppliers of products or services.  
The core of the event is the panel of experts, that in 2 sessions will discuss all the relevant aspects of this topic. To report the different experiences and points-of-view of the Food Business Operators and other stakeholders, we will have two rounds of video interviews and some video messages.  
Aside, video-posters will present original R&D results.   

 

Who should attend  

This event will be very useful for food technologists, safety and quality managers of the food industries (raw ingredients, processors, retailers), public health and food safety authorities, scientists, and certification bodies.      

 

Additional resources

Are you investigating the food safety issues of plant-based foods? Do you have some preliminary results you want to share? Our webinar is the perfect place for that!

Video presentations of up to 10 minutes can be submitted.  
The presentations will be online 2 weeks before the event and will remain on the event page after the live session.  
Affidia Journal will publish a short article about each communication at no cost.  
Abstract can be submitted within August 31.  
The accepted video presentations have to be sent to us within September 16.
