FOOD SAFETY & 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.
In the international scientific landscape, it is also known that nutrients not only play a beneficial role but under certain conditions can themselves be vehicles of toxicity. Our services are aimed at supporting our clients in studying the toxicological profile of a new or traditionally used food product:

In the international scientific landscape, it is also known that nutrients not only play a beneficial role but under certain conditions can themselves be vehicles of toxicity. Our services are aimed at supporting our clients in studying the toxicological profile of a new or traditionally used food product:
Food Toxicology & Nutritional Toxicology
- Study of the recipe/formula
- Authorization Dossier preparation and submission
- Support for implementation of Clinical Trials (Food Supplements, Food for Special Medical Purpose, etc)
- Toxicity/Hazard Assessment
- Computational Predictive Toxicology Modelling Services
- Toxicology Study and Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) Support
- Toxicology report/confidential reports issues
- Study Monitoring
- Feasibility studies and Data Gap Analysis
- Literature/data bank research
- Definition of a study plan for a full characterization of chemicals/contaminants/ingredients
- Experimental testing planning (in silico/in vitro/in vivo)
- Support for Analytical outcome interpretation
- Comprehensive literature search
- Suitability and Safety ingredients evaluation (ingredients adverse effect/s characterization, bioavailability evaluation, etc)
- Toxicological risk assessment of manufacturing process residual impurities
- Data gap analysis for non-testing approaches
- Identification of suitable testing strategies, design and management
A fundamental aspect that often goes overlooked is the detailed analysis of the product packaging, which must meet specific requirements to be suitable for food contact without causing unacceptable modifications to the product in terms of compliance, toxicology and marketing. All the above services are therefore also addressed to packaging.
