Learning unit contents

Toxicology:
The course is a lesson of toxicology of food products, which makes an inventory of the chemical risks associated with food products (residues and contaminants, additives, pesticides, brominated flame retardatants, migrating chemicals, allergens, ...).

Chemical risk analysis:
An example of chemical risk will be investigated according to the classical approach: risk characterization (hazard identification, hazard characterization, exposure assessment), risk management, risk communication).

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

Toxicology:
The goal of this lecture is to inform the trainee who will be involved in the field of the food safety and quality : - about the available analytical methods to detect chemical hazards in food, - about the toxicology of these chemical hazards,

Chemical risk analysis:
The goal of this lecture is to inform the trainee who will be involved in the field of the food safety and quality about the chemical risk analysis.
