IAFP 2016 Annual Meeting
July 31, 2016 – August 3, 2016
St. Louis, Missouri, USA
Sessions organized by IAFNS’s Food Microbiology and Food & Chemical Safety Committees.
- 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?
Susan Selke, Michigan State University - Video Contaminant Residues in/from Recycled Paper-Paperboard and Plastics: Contaminant Identification, Food Safety Concerns and Regulatory Controls
Vanee Komolprasert, Division of Food Contact Notifications, U.S. FDA - Video Case Studies:
i. Mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons (MOSHs) and mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAHs)
Stephen Klump, Nestle - Video ii. a) Di-isopropylnapthalene; and b) Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs)
Paul Honigfort, Division of Food Contact Notifications, U.S. FDA - Video Emerging Innovations and Technologies in Food Packaging
Young Kim, Virginia Tech University - Video Panel Discussion - Video
Moderator: Doug Copen, IAFNS Member Scientist
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.
