The National Food Institute, Technical University of Denmark, would like to invite you to an open seminar on risk assessment of feed on 31 May 2012. Some of the most pressing food safety problems originate in animal feed. In a joint venture with the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration, the National Food Institute has conducted a study of the impact of feed on food and animal safety. Join the seminar to hear more about the study findings.
Feed can cause food safety problems and thus directly affect human health. The BSE breakout in the UK and the dioxin feed contamination in Belgium in the 1990s originated in animal feed.
The National Food Institute, Technical University of Denmark, and the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration have conducted a study of feed which focuses on how chemical and microbiological contaminants from feeding stuffs and feed are transmitted to food and food products. On that basis, the researchers have assessed the risk for animals and humans and set up a risk profile for feed.
