For many years now, this conference has been a major event for manufacturers of packaging materials and food producers. Participants will discuss how migrating substances from recycled plastics, paper based packaging, coatings, adhesives, mineral oil, bisphenol A and other undesirable elements affect the packaged food.
For many years, the International Akademie Fresenius Conference “Residues of Food Contact Materials in Food” has been the perfect platform for bringing together the scientific, industrial and regulatory communities. We therefore cordially invite you to this year’s Conference. Plenty of exciting presentations are awaiting you!
The conference will be taking place on 8 and 9 October 2024 in Cologne and via Live Stream. Listen in on our exciting contributions and discussions. In the run-up to the event, we will provide you with your login details which will allow you to participate and put forward all your questions from the location of your choice.
Would you prefer to join on-site in Cologne? Then you can find further information here.
