Discover the nuances of implementing the direct analysis of over 30 mycotoxins in alignment with the hardest EU regulations in baby food and dietary products (Commission Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 (version of 25.5.2023)) – renowned for the demanding limits of quantitation (LOQs). This webinar showcases the remarkable capabilities of the SCIEX 7500 system in effectively analyzing mycotoxins matching the toughest EU regulatory challenges. Learn all this and more with one of SCIEX's distinguished application specialists Michael Zellmann. #mycotoxins #foodandbeverage #methoddevelopment https://lnkd.in/gqSNYrmW

🔬Celebrating Our Collaboration with ALS Global🔬 We are proud to continue our partnership with ALS Global, a trusted leader in testing that upholds the highest standards of accuracy and integrity. Their accreditations, including UKAS ISO 17025 and INAB, underscore their commitment to excellence in the industry. Through their expertise in a variety of testing methods, we ensure our meat products meet rigorous safety and quality standards: ● Microbiological Testing: Detects harmful pathogens such as Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria monocytogenes, and Campylobacter, while the Total Plate Count (TPC) assesses overall microbial load to indicate hygiene and freshness. ● Shelf Life Testing: Validates how long meat remains safe and retains quality under specified storage conditions and monitors spoilage indicators like odour, texture, and colour changes over time. ● DNA Testing: Confirms species identification to ensure our products are accurately labelled, preventing any adulteration. ● Shelf Stability and Packaging Testing: Evaluates oxygen and water vapour transmission rates to ensure packaging effectively prevents spoilage, alongside Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) testing for extended shelf life. ● Nutritional Testing: Analyses macronutrient and micronutrient content to verify product labels and ensure they meet dietary claims. Here’s to many more years of collaboration as we continue to raise the bar for product assurance, safety, and innovation! #ALSGlobal #FoodSafety #QualityAssurance #MicrobiologicalTesting #DNA #NutritionalTesting #Collaboration #Innovation

Many initiatives are looking into microplastics and their potential impacts food safety and health. Does your company share these concerns? 🔬 Maybe it's time you join the ILSI Europe Microplastics Initiative! Our aim is to advance scientific understanding of micro- and nano-plastics in food, by consolidating diverse research efforts and creating synergies through a new Community of Practice (CoP). The Microplastic CoP will bring together experts, coordinate ongoing projects, and host Round Table Discussions on pressing microplastics issues in the food and beverage industry. The CoP will focus on four key pillars: 1️⃣ Health Effects: assessing how microplastics impact human health. 2️⃣ Exposure and Toxicology: studying exposure levels and toxicity of microplastics in food. 3️⃣ Analytical Methods: harmonizing methods to improve the detection and analysis of dietary microplastics. 4️⃣ Biomonitoring Data: developing consistent biomonitoring data to assess long-term exposure effects. We want to identify research gaps, foster collaboration, drive scientific consensus, and enable faster progress through shared insights and resources. 💪 📧 For more information or to join us, reach out to gborja@ilsieurope.be 👉 Learn more about our activities at https://lnkd.in/eZyiXMXn #Microplastics #FoodSafety #ConsumerHealth #CollaborativeResearch #CommunityOfPractice #ILSI

Do you know what ergot alkaloids are? Ergot alkaloids are mycotoxins produced by certain fungi, particularly Claviceps purpurea. These fungi infect cereals like rye, wheat, and others, forming dark growths called sclerotia on the grain, commonly known as ergot. ⚠️ Ergot alkaloids are harmful to humans and animals due to the severe and potentially life-threatening health effects of the toxins they produce. European regulations set maximum allowable levels for 12 specific ergot alkaloids in food, including ergometrine and ergotamine. Chronic exposure to these toxins mainly comes from the diet, with young children being most at risk. Our lab, Tentamus Agriparadigma S.r.l., has validated the ISO EN 17425:2021 method for detecting residues of ergot alkaloids in rye and rye-based food products! 🔬 We use LC/MSMS (liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry), a sophisticated technique that provides high sensitivity, specificity, and precision in detecting these toxins. This method has been tested in interlaboratory trials and accredited by Accredia to ISO/IEC 17025. Regular testing and monitoring are essential to ensure that food products, especially those containing rye, are safe for consumption. ✅ We can help you prevent ergot alkaloid contamination in food supplies! 💡 Get in touch with us to learn more about our testing services: 📧 laura.decesare@agriparadigma.it #ErgotAlkaloids #FoodSafety #Toxin #FoodContamination #Rye
