The idea was formulated at a Commission on Food Chemistry (CFC) meeting and has been progressed by interaction through CFC. The objective is to improve the awareness and to provide training in methods of analysis for mycotoxins of food safety significance in Latin America.
Rationale: To improve the choices of analytical procedures, promote greater awareness of analytical quality for mycotoxin analysis, and to provide the up-dating of new developments in this analytical area. If the outputs from this project are implemented it should lead to better assessment of risks of exposure to mycotoxins in foods in Latin America and improvement in consumer protection.
Project Completed - This workshop, held from November 18-22, 1996 in Sao Paulo (Brazil), was extremely successful and contributed strongly to spreading IUPACs mission in the region. A report is published in Chem. Int. 20(2), 35 (1998), 'Meeting reports' section.
