Brainstorming session for the 2020 IAFP Annual Meeting
The PDG followed this process when discussing ideas
for the 2020 Annual Meeting:
1. The PDG chair introduced four topics that were discussed on a call prior to the PDG annual meeting:
a. CBD Oils - Legal status and hazard assessment.
b. Pesticides - Impacts of asynchronous approvals
and different regulatory frameworks to supply
chain management.
c. Beyond the big 8 - Overview of allergens that
aren't currently part of the big 8, such as sesame
and alpha-gal (the meat allergy that is caused by
tick bites).
d. Potential increase in allergen diagnosis: plantbased proteins and meat alternatives.
2. Five general focus areas were then introduced that
covered the mission of this PDG:
a. Allergens.
b. Chemical of the Day.
c. Chemical Hazard Control.
d. Risk Communication.
e. Regulatory Developments.
3. PDG members were given 15 minutes to identify subjects that were relevant to these four subject areas.
4. The chair and co-chair grouped the proposals within
each focus area, and then the PDG discussed potential sessions associated with each area.
Following the discussion, the following topics were
identified as potential topics for sessions:
* Lost in translation: A communications' journey from
the lab to the evening news and the consumer.
* Who will win the race towards zero? Micro, chemical, allergens? Comparison of analytical challenges in each field of driving towards zero.
* Beyond the Big 8: Food industry trends that impact
allergen management.
* Forecasting Hot Topics: Strategies that signal the
occurrence of emerging threats.
* Vital 3.0 - what are the practical applications?
* CBD/Marijuana - How high are expectations
around food safety?

1. Confirmation of Angela Anandappa as the Incoming
Chair of the FCHFA PDG, with her term beginning at
