En la actualidad, las alergias alimentarias representan un serio problema de salud pública, debido a su alta incidencia en países desarrollados y aumento evidente en países en desarrollo (Blumenstock, 2018 & Dunlop et al, 2011).
Pero estos últimos no cuentan con información científica que respalde las decisiones de políticas de salud pública y los subsecuentes reglamentos de industrias alimentarias y servicios de alimentación, por lo que se ven obligados a adoptar normativas internacionales que no han considerado los datos de prevalencia de las regiones a las cuales pertenecen.
El Comité de Análisis de Riesgos de ILSI Mesoamérica llevará a cabo una serie de seminarios web iniciando en el mes de julio en donde se analizarán temas relacionados a las alergias alimentarias

Abstract
Acrylamide forms during industrial food processing and home cooking. For years, the cereals processing industry has been engaged in reducing acrylamide formation through production process optimisations and establishment of guidelines.The 2017 EC Regulation on acrylamide sets benchmarks on acrylamide levels in food, which are considered to be either challenging or insufficient, depending on who is asked. However, if no drastic action is taken, future regulations may threaten the availability of cereals brands.
A new 4 year COST action, called ACRYRED has kicked-off this fall. ACRYRED's challenge is to establish a multi-disciplinary research and communication network on reducing acrylamide formation, involving the entire value chain from grains to consumer products. If asparagine levels can be reduced through better varieties and farming practices, downstream acrylamide formation in cereals-based products could be reduced significantly. Workstreams will also include integration of knowledge on food chemistry and processing, the risk-benefit of Maillard reaction products, and the economic consequences of mitigation measures that may become available.
Join this webinar to hear more about the action, the partners involved and how you can sign up, from the project leader, Prof. Nigel Halford (Rothamsted Research).
The memorandum of understanding and management committee of ACRYRED can be found here.
