The desire for improved food safety, quality and traceability by governments and consumers alike is driving demand for more and better information about the food we eat, from where it is sourced and how it is produced, its quality, and its impact on health and on the environment. Nevertheless, food fraud and recalls of food items due to mislabelling or contamination are commonplace, and experts know that these reported cases are just the tip of the iceberg. Maintaining and assuring the integrity of food is hugely important and this in turn is resulting in the development of innovative and cutting-edge analytical approaches. This symposium brings together an interdisciplinary array of researchers, scientists, policy makers, and stakeholders to present advances in isotopic and chemical methods, and to foster a lively and rewarding exchange of ideas and information. We warmly welcome prospective authors to submit new research papers and to share their valuable experience with scientists and scholars from around the world.

Mrs Claudia Zoani  - ENEA Biotechnology and Agroindustry Division - will attend with presentation: The role of research infrastructures in supporting Metrology in Food – the experience of METROFOOD-RI   Session: Metrology in Food  - Invited Lectures
