The aim of WMFmeetsIUPAC – the world’s largest mycotoxin event – is to increase the awareness of human and animal health risks due to mycotoxin contamination. It offers a platform for the food and feed industry, science and regulatory authorities to exchange current knowledge, to promote harmonisation of food and feed safety regulations and control procedures, and to make recommendations for integrated strategies ensuring the safety and security of the food and feed supply chain. WMFmeetsIUPAC offers an excellent way to network and to share ideas, providing a reference source for anyone involved in this field. The event includes: x presentations and discussions in plenary meetings and parallel sessions x poster sessions x company pitches covering a wide range of topics x workshops; and x a concurrent exhibition providing information on equipment, products, and services. ‘Looking beyond horizons’ – the conference theme – alludes to both the finishing line of large-scale research programmes on mycotoxins and to the necessity to put more emphasis on countries where mycotoxins present a concern to human and animal health. 'Looking beyond horizons' requires us to consider the next steps for effective mycotoxin management along the food and feed chain. High-quality speakers, ample time for discussions, and every opportunity to establish rewarding contacts are values WMFmeetsIUPAC wants to uphold. You are invited to take part in the discussions with participants from different disciplines and meet business relations in your area. We wish you an active and fruitful meeting! Rudolf Krska Chris Elliott ABOUT THE WORLD MYCOTOXIN FORUM® The World Mycotoxin Forum® (WMF) is the leading international meeting series on mycotoxins where food and feed industry representatives meet with people from universities and governments from around the world. The main objectives of The World Mycotoxin Forum® are: x to provide a unique platform for the food and feed industry, regulatory authorities and science x to exchange information and experiences on the various aspects of mycotoxins x to review current knowledge related to mycotoxins in food and feed x to discuss strategies for prevention and control of mycotoxin contamination ensuring the safety and security of the food and feed supply, and protecting human and animal health x to promote solutions for the control of mycotoxin contamination along conventional and organic supply chains. ABOUT IUPAC The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) – a scientific, international, non- governmental and objective body – serves to advance the worldwide aspects of the chemical sciences and to contribute to the application of chemistry in the service of humankind. As a scientific, international, non-governmental and objective body, IUPAC can address many global issues involving the chemical sciences. In 2019, IUPAC celebrates its 100th anniversary. WMFmeetsIUPAC 3 14-16 October 2019, Belfast, Northern Ireland SOCIAL EVENTS WELCOME RECEPTION – sponsored by R-Biopharm (free event) Sunday 13 October 2019 18:30 – 20:00 Where: Belfast City Hall Donegall Square North Belfast BT1 5GS https://www.belfastcity.gov.uk/tourism-venues/cityhall/cityhall-about.aspx In 1888 Queen Victoria granted Belfast the status of the city and it was agreed that a grand and magnificent building was required to reflect this new status. City Hall opened its doors on the first of August 1906, at a time of unprecedented prosperity and industrial might for the city. The new City Hall was designed by Alfred Brumwell Thomas in the Baroque Revival style and constructed in Portland stone. The incredible building cost £ 369,000 to complete, the equivalent around 128 million pounds today but remains an extraordinary beacon of success and civic pride for Belfast. City Hall has many connections with the famous ocean liner Titanic. Viscount William Pirrie who was Lord Mayor in 1896-1897 just before City Hall’s construction, was also managing director of Harland & Wolff Shipyard. He is the man credited as having the idea for both ambitious builds. He used many of his skilled workmen in the fit-out of City Hall which is why the interiors today are considered an incredible insight into the finish of Titanic’s lounges and suites, the ship’s carving panelling being very similar. The World Mycotoxin Forum thanks Belfast City Council for their kind generosity for the use of City Hall. 4 WMFmeetsIUPAC 14-16 October 2019, Belfast, Northern Ireland TITANIC EXPERIENCE & CONFERENCE DINNER (reservations only) Tuesday 15 October 2019 18:30 – 22:30 The official conference dinner takes place at Titanic Belfast, one of the world’s leading visitor attractions, on Tuesday evening 15 October 2019. Step back in time to a period of luxury and elegance in the opulent Titanic Suite with a replica of the liner's Grand Staircase. Dress code: business casual. Before dinner, you can enjoy a self-guided tour of Titanic Belfast’s nine interactive galleries which use state-of-the-art technology and innovative design to tell Titanic’s story from conception to construction and launch in Belfast, to its maiden voyage and subsequent place in history. Explore the shipyard, travel to the depths of the ocean and uncover the true legend of Titanic, in the city where it all began. Keep your camera ready! IMPORTANT NOTES x The conference dinner is only open to participants who registered in advance. You will find your ticket for this event at the back of your name badge. x Participants who have registered for this event, must wear and show their name badge.

  • TRUTH ABOUT PASTA to Fight Misinformation and Change Global Consumers’ Perception
    INTERNATIONAL PASTA ORGANISATION 2015 Pasta Communication Plan Riccardo Felicetti October 26th, 2015 The issue Fad diets are creating misconceptions about the role of carbohydrates in a healthy diet. What’s the ‘recipe’ for best-selling pseudoscience diet books like Wheat Belly and Grain Brain? “You set up a good and an evil, and add a myth (‘you’ve been lied to; there’s this conspiracy you should know about’). Explain that it’s not your fault, then present one simple solution (‘avoid this one thing’)...It's a lot sexier if you only explain one side.” James Hamblin, MD, Senior Editor, The Atlantic at Whole Grain Council Conference Boston, 9-11 Nov. 2014 Ending the War on Fat • Carbs are the new enemies • Fats don’t make us fat, Carbs Do • Fats are coming out of hiding • People are told to put carbs in the back seat and load up on fats. And there is no better example of this phenomenon than what's happened to one of the world's most favorite foods … Pasta is the leading culprit in the rise of obesity around the globe, some “experts” say … The anti-carb fad is becoming an international phenomenon The Gluten-Free Craze in the US Some 20 million Americans now say that eating it causes them distress. 100 million people in all, meanwhile, say that they are actively working to eliminate gluten, the protein that gives pasta its ”al dente” chewiness, from their diet. Alessio Fasano, MD, Director of the Center for Celiac Research (Boston WGC Conference, Nov 2014) These concerns are echoed elsewhere in the world The Fad Factor of the Gluten Free diet "No question there is a fad component.

    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Required Report - public distribution Date: 5/6/2011 GAIN Report Number: PT1102 Portugal FOOD PROCESSING SECTOR Food Processing Ingredients Post: Madrid Approved By: Robert Hanson, Agricultural Attaché Prepared By: Diogo Machado Mendes, Agricultural Specialist Report Highlights: Portugal is in the midst of a political and economic crisis – the recent collapse of the center-left government coincides with the country’s need for financial assistance from the European Commission to help restore growth and financial stability. High unemployment, widespread austerity measures and economic uncertainty are having a significant impact on consumption patterns. The macroeconomic conditions in Portugal are leading to a decline in the consumption of higher value added products and in the number of meals taken outside the household. A gradual process of adjustment is already causing a contraction in imports. At the same time Portuguese exports of consumer-ready food products are holding and are expected to expand, increasing its market share mostly in third countries. This presents an opportunity for U.S. exports of food ingredients. 1 SECTION I. MARKET SUMMARY On April 6th 2011, Portugal requested financial assistance from the European Commission to help restore growth and financial stability. The bail-out, worth 78bn Euros ($115bn), will be in the form of loans from other European countries and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). This follows a gradual process of loss of competitiveness as wages have risen and tariffs on Asian exports into Europe have been reduced.
