Food-Relevant Chemicals in ToxCast and Potential Integration of High-Throughput Toxicity Testing in Assessing Chemical Safety
July 28, 2016 – June 28, 2016
Washington, D.C., USA
This webinar will provide a forum for integration of scientific disciplines such as food safety, emerging technologies with toxicology; and it will serve as an educational resource to communicate the impact and relevance of food safety and toxicology research with scientists in government, academia and industry.
- In light of advancements in analytical methodologies which are allowing for progressively lower detection limits resulting in unexpected chemicals being detected in air, water, food, etc., how do we access and utilize this information for safety assessment of packaging materials?
- How do we evaluate the safety of nanomaterials in food packaging?
- In terms of assessing the safety of packaging materials, how much is enough?

Panelists: Susan Selke, Vanee Komolprasert, Stephen Klump, Paul Honigfort, Jim Huang, Young Kim
- What are the challenges in utilizing recycled packaging materials in food contact applications and how do we address these challenges?
- What are the challenges in identification and safety evaluation of non-intentionally added substances (NIAS) in food contact materials? What are the potential approaches for considering NIAS in the risk assessment of food contact materials?
- The challenges of communicating scientific information to a nonscientific audience, particularly the importance of communicating the entire story (example- what we know, what we don't know, not just what we want them to know) while making the information as relevant as possible.
