Retrospective surveillance of viable Bacillus cereus group contaminations in commercial food and feed vitamin B2 products sold on the Belgian market using whole-genome sequencing
on the Belgian market. In total, 75 collected product samples were cultured on a general medium and, in case of bacterial growth, two isolates per product sample were collected and characterized using ...
Hazard characterization of Alternaria toxins to identify data gaps and improve risk assessment for human health.
Fungi of the genus Alternaria are ubiquitous plant pathogens and saprophytes which are able to grow under varying temperature and moisture conditions as well as on a large range of substrates. A spectrum ...

Identification and characterization of inorganic food additives and pearlescent pigments in sprays for food decoration by STEM-EDX
the properties of the particles consumers are exposed to. Samples were prepared by spraying 5mL in a glass vial and coated on EM-grids using the grid-on-drop method. Scanning transmission electron ...
Development of novel analytical methods to trace small micro- and nanoplastics in food matrices
(NP s), mainly originating by physico-chemical transformation processes, such as aging, degradation and fragmentation. Because of the ease in their detection, several studies have been conducted on ...
BSFM 2023- L. monocytogenes in Plant-Based Foods: insights from of a recent foodborne outbreak linked to vegan alternative to cheese
Smartproteinproject (funded by the EU Horizon 2020) on European consumer attitudes towards plant-based foods has indicated an increasing consumption of plant-based food products in Europe over the years. In Belgium, ...
Strain-level characterization without culture enrichment? Easing and accelerating outbreak investigation using shotgun metagenomics facilitated with nanopore adaptive sampling
Staphylococcus aureus) compared to shotgun metagenomics without adaptive sampling on DNA of mashed potatoes spiked with DNA of S. aureus at a level of 0.5%. The strain was previously associated with a foodborne ...
EFSA Project on the use of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) for the hazard assessment of nanofibres. Lot 1, nanocellulose oral exposure: gastrointestinal digestion, nanofibres uptake and local effects
NC. In the present project, a NAM-based IATA for addressing data gaps in the assessment of potential hazards associated to NC oral exposure was considered. This IATA focused on three main pillars, i.e. ...
Cost and greenhouse gas emissions of current, healthy, flexitarian and vegan diets in Aotearoa (New Zealand)
and flexitarian household diets was modelled using a list of commonly consumed foods, a set of quantity/serves constraints for each, and constraints for food group and nutrient intakes based on dietary ...
Integration of various dimensions in food-based dietary guidelines via mathematical approaches: report of a DGE/FENS Workshop in Bonn, Germany, 23–24 September 2019Abstract
Food-based dietary guidelines Mathematical optimisation sustainability Abstract: In the past, food-based dietary guidelines (FBDG s) were derived nearly exclusively by using systematic reviews on diet–health ...
