ECsafeSEAFOOD Seminar: Environmental Contaminants of Emerging Concern in Seafood: Are Producers, Processors, and Consumers on the Safe Side?

Presentations

This seminar has been arranged by Norwegian Veterinary Institute, Blue Competence Center, and Frøya VGS in the framework of the ECsafeSEAFOOD project.

The main objective of this seminar is to increase awareness within the aquaculture industry of the impacts of emerging chemical contaminants in seafood safety. The seminar will include the role of diet, xenobiotic contaminants, algal biotoxins, environmental factors, climate change, microplastics and other factors on the safety of different types of seafood. Public attitudes and consumer health effects will be discussed, as well as possible industry and policy responses, taking into account the development of mitigation strategies. The seminar will particularly target industry, students at Master’s level, and food safety authorities. Excursions will be arranged each day to appropriate industries. These will be announced later, as will the titles of the presentations from industry (processing and farming) and policymakers/food safety authorities.

Registration:
The seminar will be free of charge, however, a fee to cover travel expenses and food might
be charged for some of the field trips. Registration is mandatory.
