FOOD SAFETY & FOOD APPLIED TOXICOLOGY
Food Regulatory
In the complex European legislative landscape, our services are designed to facilitate the understanding of legal requirements with the aim of ensuring the compliance of food products placed on the market regarding the following areas of interest:
Food Import and Export
In Europe the rules governing the importation of products of animal origin, non-animal origin, or composite products are particularly complex and companies, before importation, must comply with different requirements for the three categories of products.
Food Safety Certification
The number of companies undertaking the certification process is growing due to contractual needs in the sector as well as for competitive differentiation. Certifications are generally voluntary and come in many types, some of which are recognized internationally and pursued by producers to facilitate export.
Legal assistance
Legal aspects play a crucial and delicate role for food industry companies as they determine not only compliance with legislative standards but also aim to foster business development.
Scientific writing
We provide drafting and revision of scientific literature articles, scientific projects aimed at obtaining funds and/or recognitions, scientific protocols preparatory to obtaining specific authorizations and/or patent applications, confidential scientific reports, and/or international projects focused on food safety and food applied toxicology.
Food Toxicology & Nutritional Toxicology
Protecting consumer health is a common goal of European and international policies and is closely related to the presence of hazardous substances, mixtures, and/or components bioavailable in consumed foods.
Exposure Assessment & Risk Characterization
Exposure assessment and risk characterization are fundamental pillars for ensuring food safety and public health protection. Flashtox leverages a consolidated network of partners employing cutting-edge methodologies to determine exposure levels to ingredients, contaminants, and nutrients in food products.
Nutritional Profile Optimization
The nutritional profile of a food product determines its purpose and consequently the added value that its consumption brings for different types of consumers (children, adults, the elderly, etc.). Economically, this profile is also essential for positioning producers, processors, and/or distributors within specific market niches.
Applied Research for Product Development and Innovation
The constant search for new food products by the industrial world, both for issues related to reducing environmental impact and concerning the relationship between food and health, represents a characteristic of modern society.
Project Management Assignment
Our resources operate directly within corporate R&D teams to supervise and coordinate research projects with constant attention to compliance and, above all, competitive innovation.
TOXICOLOGY & RISK ASSESSMENT OF CHEMICALS
Human Risk Assessment
In the context of risk assessment, Flashtox offers a detailed and scientifically rigorous approach to identify and quantify hazards associated with chemicals and materials. Using advanced methodologies, including in silico data, we provide accurate exposure predictions and thorough risk characterization in the following regulatory areas: REACH, CLP, Biocides, Cosmetics, Detergents, Agrochemicals, Pharmaceuticals and POPs. The main activities are as follows:
General Toxicology and In Silico Toxicology
Flashtox integrates traditional and innovative approaches for general toxicology, using in silico methodologies to predict toxicity and develop integrated testing strategies. Trough QSAR models and read-across approaches, we assess the toxicological profiles of chemicals, examining impurities and extractables.
Advanced Toxicology
In the sphere of advanced toxicology, Flashtox focuses on the assessment of chemical activities such as endocrine disruptors and other specific aspects such as cardiotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and immunotoxicity.
Scientific Writing
We provide drafting and revision of scientific literature articles, scientific projects aimed at obtaining funds and/or recognitions, scientific protocols preparatory to obtaining specific authorizations and/or patent applications, confidential scientific reports, and/or international projects focused on toxicology and risk assessment of chemicals.
