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

🚨 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.

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.

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

[Octavian Mihalache @OctavAugustin]

@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.

[Octavian Mihalache @OctavAugustin]

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

[Octavian Mihalache @OctavAugustin]

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.

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.

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.
