Glad to say I had the opportunity to participate at the 45th Mycotoxin Workshop in Vienna 🇦🇹 🌟 Our work highlighted the occurrence and exposure to mycotoxins based on the consumption of meat alternatives lnkd.in/e-chNUkb #Mycotoxins #meatalternatives #riskassessment

📢Special Issue "Advanced Approaches in #Mycotoxin Exposure Assessment" is open for submissions! Thanks to Dr. Octavian Augustin Mihalache @OctavAugustin and Dr. Raquel Torrijos for being the Guest Editors. 👉Click this link to see the potential topics: mdpi.com/si/203750

🚨 Just published! Our research on Italian consumers' cancer risk & burden of disease due to dietary exposure to acrylamide is out now. Check the details of gender and age-specific risks considering 31 different food items. @chiara_dallasta @3SAN_UNIPR sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Check how the type of diet we follow impacts our overall health burden. Results are based on the consumption of unprocessed red meat, processed meat, and legumes, and exposure to chemical contaminants in 25 European countries. @chiara_dallasta @QUBFoodProf link.springer.com/article/10.100…

"More attention is needed from the regulatory side for policymakers to consider the legislations of mycotoxins in meat alternatives."

@TomBomb60347790 @fleroy1974 In this context the potential health risk was related to the likelihood that the exposure to the mycotoxins we found could lead to adverse health effects. The health concern is related to two other mycotoxins which are known to be carcinogenic. Hope this helps.

@fleroy1974 Thank you for sharing our work! More will come soon regarding the safety assessment of plant-based meat alternatives.

New study which highligths the co-occurrence of 16 mycotoxins in 105 meat alternatives. Simulation scenarios and dietary exposure indicated potential health risks and a need for regulation of mycotoxins in meat alternatives. @chiara_dallasta @3SAN_UNIPR sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I was recognized by @ElsevierConnect as a contributor to UNs SDGs! Between 2020–2022, 4 of my works conducted in the @Safe_Consume project were linked to UNs SDGs 3 and 17 Promoting healthy lives and well-being and Promoting sustainable development. #foodsafety #publichealth

The @FunShield4Med Workshop in Athens just ended. It was a great experience with insightful lectures and discussions. I also held a seminar on exposure assessment and hands-on applications. Many thanks to Pantelis Natskoulis and organizers. @chiara_dallasta @harproestos

Grateful I had the opportunity to participate in the World Mycotoxin Forum 2023. It was an amazing experience and to top it off I received 'Most Insightful Contribution' award from Selko and my own copy of the Toxin-Free Food book signed by @RudolfKrska 🙏🏆📚 @mycotoxiforum

And now our @OctavAugustin on the floor! @unipr @MycotoxinForum

New study published in #BMCPublicHealth revealing hand hygiene practices during meal preparation for consumers from 10 European countries. Demographic trends and a ranking were established among the countries: bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… @BMC_series @SolveigLangsrud @PaulaTe21095838

@MSCActions @REA_research @MSCANetwork I'm a food scientist from Romania and will be working at the University of Parma, Italy on the PRISMA (Providing Risk-benefit Insights of Shifting to Meat Alternatives) project together with @chiara_dallasta covering the safety of plant-based foods @unipr @3SAN_UNIPR @HNUnipr

From @EFSA_EU #EUFORA from #MSCA … what a journey @OctavAugustin Mihalache 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻(and an amazing 100/100 - so proud of you!) Interested in learning more about #safety of plant-based meat? Stay tuned on #PRISMA project!! @unipr @3SAN_UNIPR @HNUnipr
