From the content:
Food fraud undermines consumer confidence and threatens food safety. According to the 2016 US Pharmacopeial Convention, economically motivated adulteration (EMA) is a global economic problem and a public health issue. It is estimated to cost the industry $ 10-15 billion annually and up to 10% of the global food supply appear to be affected. Food fraud typically involves a wide range of intentional fraudulent activities, usually for economic reasons (addition of non-authentic substances or removal or replacement of authentic substances) or counterfeiting (production of substandard goods sold as premium brands).
An exciting programme with practical litigation cases, with strategies and methods for detecting and combating food fraud, are presented by renowned speakers from around the world. Join us in Vienna and meet the "Food Detectives" and get to know modern technologies that are looking for the "unknown" or learn about legal regulations and get practical advice for protecting your branded products, for correct food labeling food, and ultimately to maintain consumer trust. The symposium includes speakers from the United Nation's FAO/IAEA, IFS, LGC, USP, as well as industry representatives from Nestlé, SQTS/MIGROS, and others, as well as from various law firms and food research institutions.
The Second International MoniQA Symposium on Food Fraud Prevention and Effective Food Allergen Management will address food authenticity, food fraud and the need for simple labeling as major drivers for both the food industry and companies involved in rapidly developing new analytical technologies. The symposium will provide ample space and time for poster viewing and discussion, as well as publication of the abstract, and including the abstract/poster in a best poster award competition.
We warmly invite you to attend this meeting in Vienna, which brings together international experts in the fields of food authenticity and food allergens, as well as various food industries, SMEs, research institutions, associations and regulatory bodies, all having a different stake in food safety. This special mix of scientific and practical input to the symposium will be a valuable opportunity to grow your knowledge base, learn from practical experiences, and exchange ideas with peers. Vienna has earned an outstanding reputation as meeting destination and is ranked top every year in the statistics kept by the International Congress & Convention Association. The central location of Vienna in the heart of Europe is beneficial to all delegates who are able to reach Vienna easily with direct flights from any European capital as well as from many other cities worldwide.
We hope to see you in Vienna in June 2018!

The ISEKI-Food Association (European Association for Integrating Food Science and Engineering Knowledge Into the Food Chain) and the University of Hohenheim are organising the 5th International ISEKI_Food Conference (ISEKI_Food 2018) to be held in Stuttgart, University of Hohenheim, Germany, 3 - 5 July 2018.
This 5th edition has as its driving topic "The Food System Approach – New Challenges for Education, Research and Industry". A modern approach to face the societal, climate and nutritional challenges, impairing food security and the global sustainability of the food chain, has to consider all activities related to food production, processing, packaging, distribution, preparation and consumption.
Several poster awards are waiting for you as well as some very interesting workshops to attend like the PhD workshop, the Food Waste Recovery Workshop and some free workshops.
Submit your abstracts and meet the ISEKI-network in Stuttgart!

We look forward to welcoming you in Stuttgart!

Every year EFFoST organizes this prestigious international food science and technology conference, an important scientific event that brings together world-renowned researchers, scientists, policy makers, professionals and students from multidisciplinary food-related fields to share the latest developments, meet old friends and form new partnerships. See here for details of our previous conferences.
The 32nd EFFoST International Conference will be held in Nantes, France from 6-8 November 2018 under the theme: Developing innovative food structures and functionalities through process and reformulation to satisfy consumer needs and expectations.
Conference Topics
Abstract Submission Deadline: 27 April 2018
Oral and paper abstracts are now invited on the following topics. They should be submitted using the online abstract submission system.
When foods are pushed by objectives such as the clean label trend, vegan foods, ‘free from’ foods (gluten, lactose etc.), reduction of salt, sugar, lipids, and therefore when reformulation means less ingredients, food processing appears very often as the ultimate means to keep food safe, good and with adapted shelf life. In addition, consumers and industry expect sustainable solutions with reduced environmental footprint.
All steps of food production are important: ingredients sourcing, assembly and process of transformation, packaging, cold chain etc. The industry is stretched between new sourcing, which is sometimes unsustainable and local sourcing, which has limitations. Minimal processing to keep the nutrition values of raw ingredients is often expected by consumers but again has limitations. Lastly, education and communication are of ultimate importance to achieve a trustable link between consumers and industry; this encompasses the development of the factory of tomorrow that must be as transparent as possible to the public.
At the 32nd EFFoST International Conference food scientists and food industry experts will gather to debate and discuss the recent trends in food science and food processing. The conference will also focus on re-establishing trust and mutual understanding between "industry" and "consumers" for the benefit of both parties and for the benefit of the health and wellbeing of the European consumers.
Addressing the vital role of modern science in food legislation and regulation
It is with great pleasure that the Global Harmonization Initiative (GHI) invites you to attend the 1st GHI World Congress on Food Safety and Security, 24 - 28 March 2019, in Leiden, The Netherlands.
It brings together leading scientists, researchers and research scholars from academia and industry, decision makers from international organisations, and the public from across the globe to advance the conversation about the vital role of modern science in food legislation and regulation.
One of the major problems in food safety and security regulation is that many existing laws, rules and guidelines are originated from decades-old data and methods, several of which are not even relevant to human exposure. The 1st GHI World Congress is to generate a platform to present and implement the most suitable assays for food safety and security assessment within different fields - from chemistry and microbiology, to genetic toxicology and genomics - throughout entire processes, from farm to fork.
The outcomes of the Congress can pave the way toward more accurate detection of human risk to dietary components and thus, improve human health status. The intention is to produce a declaration that is agreed by all participants which calls for and establishes a target to change regulations within a specified time based on available knowledge.
The 1st GHI World Congress on Food Safety and Security will address the following topics:
- Microbiological studies for food safety
- Genetic toxicology
- Genomics
- GM foods
- Roles of chemical analyses in food safety
- Nanotechnology
- Food borne diseases
- Factory design and food safety
- Modelling for food safety assessment
- Food science, education and communication
- Ethics in the food chain
- Global food safety hazardous incidences (real and false alerts)
- Updated and modified tests and guidelines for food safety assessment
General abstract submission will be open from 1 September 2018 until 15 January 2019. The Scientific Committee welcomes submission for oral and poster presentations.
On behalf of the GHI membership and organising committee, we hope you will join us in March 2019 for this unique and transformative scientific programme
