Track II: New Product Development & Formulation Challenges

• Track II Welcome & Day 2 Opening - Dr. Lisa Ronquest Ross
• Towards Safe Innovations: nutrivigilance and post-market monitoring for novel proteins - Dr. Alie de Boer, Maastricht University 

As novel proteins enter the market at an accelerating pace, ensuring their continued safety is essential. In this session, Dr. Alie de Boer will explore the concept of nutrivigilance—monitoring adverse and allergenic reactions to foods after they are launched—and why it’s particularly relevant for novel and alternative proteins. Drawing on findings from the MoSIN project, she will present early insights into how post-market monitoring could be organised in Europe. Attendees will also be invited to reflect on the practical challenges and opportunities of implementing such a system—and how the food industry can play an active role in shaping it.
