Track: Food safety

Round table on Mexico, the guest of honor country at Alimentaria FoodTech 2023. In it, the main businessmen and associations of the country will discuss the food industry in the Aztec country, business opportunities, as well as the most important challenges in regulatory, economic , technological, market demand, investment, among others.

The description of the project, its objectives, the design and operation of the team, as well as the results obtained will be discussed and it will close with conclusions.

Success story in which we have been able to eliminate the problems derived from the presence of old labels in boxes of a customer in the food sector, while we have reduced energy consumption.

The question that this paper tries to answer is:

What steps do we have to follow to be able to validate the operation of an autoclave. Apart from the new equipment, how can it be described that a Revamping of an old or second-hand equipment has been carried out adequately and efficiently.

First of all, it is necessary to explain that Revamping consists of the restructuring, updating or reconstruction of industrial machines in order to extend their life cycle within the production processes. This intervention will partially or totally replace the technology used through the application of state-of-the-art technological solutions to obtain an improvement in the efficiency and quality of the manufactured product and, in many cases, to comply with current regulations.

In order to guarantee food safety, the role played by packaging systems is fundamental to the extent that efficient packaging, in addition to exerting a barrier effect, also contributes to extending the life cycle of the product, both being matters of summa importance for society as a whole, which is why companies, administrations and consumers are actively committed to minimizing this problem.

Efficient and safe packaging plays a vital role in ensuring a constant supply of affordable food for all, without compromising the principles of the circular economy, so it is essential to develop innovative solutions to packaging that complies with food safety standards.

With this theme, the Spanish Technological Platform for Packaging and Packaging - PACKNET has organized a Round Table where several experts in this field will share their valuable knowledge and experiences

The fundamental role played by packaging in the prevention of food waste is undeniable, to which is added the great commitment shown by companies, administrations and consumers in favor of reducing a problem with a high economic, social and environmental impact . Precisely in this context where efficient packaging contributes to guaranteeing the supply of safe and affordable food for all, and without this implying in any case undermining the guidelines of the circular economy.

We will discuss all these topics and the various innovative packaging solutions that are currently available on the market with several experts during this Round Table organized by the Spanish Technological Platform for Packaging and Packaging - PACKNET in the context of the Food Tech food fair , and which we invite you to attend.

Nemis N-light Salmonella Risk is an innovative solution designed to effectively address the risk of Salmonella in the food industry. It is a comprehensive solution that empowers industries to maintain high safety standards and ensure consumer confidence.

With N-light Salmonella Risk, fast and reliable analyses can be performed, enabling early detection and an immediate response to any contamination. This system helps significantly reduce the risk of Salmonella outbreaks and protects public health.

The Spanish Interprofessional Dairy Organisation (InLac) has promoted a project with the aim of developing a technique for quantifying milk from different species in cheeses.The quantification of the percentage of milk is not a simple task and depends on several factors related to the composition of the milk, the different manufacturing processes and the degree of maturity of the cheese.

The developed PRM targeted proteomics technique has high specificity, high sensitivity, a wide dynamic range of detection and is independent of the ripening stage of the cheese sample. The method has been successfully validated for Iberian type cheeses.

In this session, Cegid will explain how it helps to promote digitisation - throughout the entire food industry value chain - through the use of technology, a fundamental pillar for traceability.We will see tools that will be useful in our day-to-day work to detect possible incidents and/or defects at different levels of the company, from operations to managers and area directors.In addition, they will show several success stories of customers who are managing to optimise and multiply profitability with the application of their Cegid Ekon technology. Don't miss it!

Early detection and identification of pollutants, such as microorganisms, solid particles, and gases, in certain samples and work environments even in urban areas, have become a key factor in decision making by health authorities and medical professionals towards the implementation of effective measures to avoid contamination in our foodstuff, even our cities.  In this regard, there is a need to investigate and develop innovative analytical tools and technologies capable to accelerate decision making in critical situations.
