Mycotoxins pose a serious threat to food and feed safety, impacting human and animal health, agricultural productivity, and global trade. These toxic compounds, produced by molds, can contaminate a wide range of commodities. With climate change and evolving agricultural practices, new and masked mycotoxins are emerging, making their management and control more challenging than ever. Understanding contamination patterns, global regulatory trends and updates, and innovative risk management strategies is essential for ensuring food and feed safety.

Discover more about this insightful topic by joining our upcoming free technical webinar titled “Advancing Mycotoxin Management: Global Trends and Innovative Solutions.” Gain valuable knowledge on managing and controlling mycotoxins, global trends, and cutting-edge strategies for effective mycotoxin risk management, among others, from Mr. Martin Witek, Product Manager for Mycotoxins at Romer Labs. With a comprehensive technical background, Mr. Witek was previously the Project Manager for Clinical HPLC Diagnostics Kits, where he demonstrated his expertise in the research, development, and scale-up of CE-IVD certified products. His experience at the Medical University of Vienna's Institute for Pharmacology further strengthened his skills in chromatographic
analyses, method development, and quality assurance. Additionally, learn the best practices in mycotoxin analysis and innovations and advancements in mycotoxin management and monitoring from Ms. Shierhina Pantig, a professional Food Technologist and Senior Product Specialist at
Glenwood Technologies International, Inc. She graduated from the University of Santo Tomas with a bachelor's degree in Food Technology. Ms. Pantig conducts mycotoxin awareness and seminars for various feed manufacturing companies in Luzon.
