The Society of Toxicology (SOT) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition have developed a series of Colloquia on Emerging Toxicological Science Challenges in Food and Ingredient Safety to inform the work of US FDA employees and others. Although not a public forum for discussion of regulatory issues, these events have focused on important issues and provide scientific training that is high quality, cutting-edge, future-oriented toxicological science. Recordings of the sessions, speaker slides, and a captioning text record are available for each.
Information about the series and links to all the sessions can be accessed from the colloquia web page.
The first two sessions included:
Complexities in Evaluating Human Clinical and Observational Data for Ingredient Safety Assessment: Partially Hydrogenated Oils As a Case Study (November 7, 2014)
Application of ADME/PK Studies to Improve Safety Assessments for Foods and Cosmetics (February 23, 2015)
Two colloquia are scheduled in the next few months. Participants can attend on-site at the Wiley Auditorium, College Park, Maryland, or by webcast.
