TOPIC FOR THE DAY: Reference materials and reference methods for food allergen analysis
This is a stakeholder workshop for the recently awarded European Food Safety Authority funded project ThRAll (Detection and quantification of allergens in foods and minimum eliciting doses in food allergic individuals), led by Professor Clare Mills form the University of Manchester. Building on the outputs of the recently completed EU-funded iFAAM project and nationally-funded projects in Belgium, France and Italy, ThRAll will involve world leading experts from across Europe. They include Italy (Dr Linda Monaci, CNR-ISPA), Belgium (Dr Nathalie Gillard, CER and Dr Christoff van Poucke, ILVO) and France (Dr Olivier Tranquet, INRA). The project also has additional co-funding from the UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) and the Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain (FASFC) in Belgium.
