Seminar June 15th - Contaminants and food safety | A challenging combination
On Thursday June 15th we organize our annual seminar in Belgium (Nazareth, East Flanders). Registrations for the seminar open on Wednesday May 3rd and close on Wednesday June 7th on our website www.primorisevent.be.
Attention: the seminar will be completely in Dutch.
 |
This year we will be focusing on new challenges concerning residues and contaminants in terms of circular economy, which is an economic system aiming to maximize the reusability of products and raw materials and to reduce value destruction. This may have its consequences on product quality and food safety. During the seminar, we will discuss these new challenges in terms of legislation, practice and lab.
We also stay faithful to a solid value in our program, which is the presentation of the results of the 2016 residue monitoring.
Since we want to get to know our customers, we invite all participants to the closing reception at the end of the seminar.

Does safe and sustainable feed exist? Of course!
Every year, the Belgian compound feed industry valorizes more than 3,5 million tons of by-products that would normally end on the waste mountain. However, the (food) safety of these flows is in the center of our attention, next to the quality and nutritional value. The past years, we’ve elaborated an entire food safety approach that is being supported by all links in the chain, which consists of the suppliers of amongst others these raw materials, traders, transporters and compound feed producers.
