For the Love of Food! - Shimadzu's GCMS Solutions for the Analysis of Ethylene Oxide
What can be found in our food – nutrients, additives, and... residual contaminants like EO?
Ethylene oxide (EO) is a fumigant pesticide used to combat fungi and bacteria, but it can also be mutagenic and carcinogenic. Since 2020, the detection of EO has resulted in food recalls in countries such as Singapore and Europe. In fact, thousands of food products have been recalled in European countries, making the EO incident one of the biggest food recall operations in the EU history.
On 12th Oct, join us for a webinar to learn about Shimadzu’s GCMS solutions in analyzing ethylene oxide in different food matrices, such as sesame seeds and instant noodles. Our specialist, Dr. Jackie, will help you gain deeper insights into EO analysis and its regulatory perspectives.
