Food Safety and Dietary Risk Assessment

For many years, this conference has been the perfect platform for bringing together the scientific, industrial and regulatory communities, dealing with the assessment of pesticide residues in food. Learn about the latest developments in risk assessment, the setting of maximum residue limits as well as regulatory and guideline updates.

The risk assessment of pesticide residues in food is a key element of the EU regulatory framework for plant protection products. This process involves various complexities, from data collection and evaluation to the implementation of new guidance as well as the application and authorisation procedures. To successfully navigate these challenges, it is essential to stay informed about all new developments.

Join the popular Akademie Fresenius Conference “Food Safety and Dietary Risk Assessment” to receive all the latest updates, to meet your peers and to join important discussions in a comfortable conference atmosphere. Reason enough for many participants to attend regularly every year. So don’t miss out to secure your place for this year’s event!

The Conference will be taking place in Dusseldorf on 2 and 3 April 2025.
