Role of the central R&D laboratories of an international group in the field of Food-Feed Safety

Abstract

Summary:With increased globalisation and more frequent crises within food/feed industry, public concern over food safety will remain at its present level and may even increase. The crushing/refining industry is likely to face further problems in the future. The recently established Food/Feed Safety Coordination Committee will be able to deal with any new crises at group level (communication, action organisation), in close cooperation with R&D, which in turn will provide the scientific background, analytical results, proposals for technical solutions and continuous monitoring, for any given situation.Keywords: food safety, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons dioxins.
