welcomeMycotoxin control ...The occurrence of mycotoxins in various crops affects food and feed safety, food security, and international trade. Mycotoxin contamination is due to a series of events, including weather conditions, land use and crop rotation, varieties, cropping practices, harvest and post-harvest handling practices, and possible effects of climate change. Even though a lot of research has been carried out, no single approach has proven to be a successful strategy to cope with the challenge of mycotoxins. Therefore, efforts should be directed at the implementation of an integrated or ‘systems’ approach to control mycotoxin contamination along the food and feed supply.
The 8th conference of The World Mycotoxin Forum® initiates the systems approach to minimise contamination of raw materials and provide management solutions for safe use from the farm to the fork. The conference will offer an excellent way to network, share ideas and formulate conclusions on how the systems approach might be achieved.
The 8th conference of The World Mycotoxin Forum® takes place in Vienna, Austria, on 10-12 November 2014 and includes:• presentations and discussions in plenary meetings and parallel sessions • poster sessions • spotlight presentations covering a wide range of topics including case studies and industry updates • workshops and demonstrations • a concurrent instrument/manufacturers exhibition providing information on products, equipment
and services.
As a comprehensive overview, the 8th conference of The World Mycotoxin Forum® is a vital source of acquiring knowledge and information for everyone involved in the food and feed chain. High-quality speakers, ample time for discussions, and every opportunity to establish rewarding contacts are conference values The World Mycotoxin Forum® wants to uphold.
The members of the Advisory Committee and Organising Committee are looking forward to meeting you!

... the systems approach
The World Mycotoxin Forum® is the leading international meeting series on mycotoxins where food and feed industry representatives meet with people from universities and governments from around the world. The main objectives of The World Mycotoxin Forum® are: • to provide a unique platform for the food and feed industry, regulatory authorities and science • to exchange information and experiences on the various aspects of mycotoxins • to review current knowledge related to mycotoxins in food and feed • to discuss strategies for prevention and control of mycotoxin contamination ensuring safety and
security of food and feed supply • to initiate the systems approach for the control of mycotoxin contamination along conventional
and organic supply chains.

The World Mycotoxin Forum and the IUPAC Inter-national Symposium on Mycotoxins and Phycotoxins proudly announce that their next joint conference will take place in Winnipeg, Canada on 6-9 June 2016.
This unique combined event – WMFmeetsIUPAC2016 – will build on the success of the previous conference, which was held in Rotterdam, the Netherlands in 2012.

13:00 – 14:00 workshop 1Innovative rapid detection methods as part of a HACCP system for managing mycotoxinsSponsered and presented by R-Biopharm
Mycotoxin contamination of food and feed product imposes a risk to human and animal health and has serious economic impact. Since mycotoxins are natural occurring toxins exposure cannot be 100% controlled. To meet international regulations and guidelines products are tested for the amount of mycotoxins. Yet, instead of testing large numbers of end-products, a more pro-active approach would have many benefi ts. In order to assure safe food and feed various quality assurance tools can be applied as GAP and GMP.
During the production process of food and feed critical steps can be identifi ed where it is possible to minimise the risk of unacceptable mycotoxin concentrations in the end product. For this HACCP-based approach for mycotoxin management, a measurements tool to monitor mycotoxins at critical steps is needed. Rapid and on-site decision making with quantitative lateral fl ow tests can be an excellent tool for that. In this workshop R-Biopharm will present the latest developments in this fi eld.
monday 10 november 2014
13:00 – 14:00 workshop 2Mycotoxins risk management in animal nutrition
Sponsored and presented by Olmix
Mycotoxins involve many disorders in animals, mainly immune depression and digestive and reproduction troubles. These effects occur with high contamination but also under chronic exposure to low levels of several mycotoxins. Detection of mycotoxins related troubles is not easy. Mycotoxins are invisible and odourless. Moreover, mycotoxicosis symptoms can be associated to an infectious pathogen instead of the presence of mycotoxins in the feed. As a consequence, mycotoxins require a specifi c attention. Mycotoxins risk management tools may be used to address this issue.
This workshop will be focused on different tools set up by Olmix to evaluate the risk of mycotoxins on a farm (Mycotoxin Risk Evaluator), better understand a mycotoxin analysis (Mycotoxin Essentials) and optimise the solution to implement (MT.X+ Calculator).
tuesday 11 november 2014
12:30 – 13:30 workshop 3Unravelling the mycotoxin challenge: a 360° perspective on science, sampling and innovative testing solutionsSponsored and presented by Romer Labs
In this workshop, Romer Labs provides a complete picture on state-of-the-art analysis of food and feed for myco-toxins throughout various stages of production.At several stations, participants can gather insights and practical examples regarding correct and regulatory compliant sampling, effi cient and fast sample preparation, rapid test methodologies for quick and reliable result generation not only applicable in laboratories but particu-larly in the fi eld, reference testing methods for accurate low-level quantifi cation of contaminants and analytical services provided by its ISO 17025-certifi ed laboratories.Latest R&D fi ndings with special focus on water-based extraction for LFDs, implementation of the new SIDASpin Method for Multi-Mycotoxin Testing with LC-MS/MS, a complex matrix purifi cation by MycoSpinTM 400 Multi-toxin column in combination with 13C internal standards. Moreover the workshop will be an opportunity to discover masked mycotoxins and other ‘hot topics’ in the fi eld of mycotoxins.
