CONTEMFood: Contaminants in Meat Replacement Products

The project, led and coordinated by University of Veterinary Medicine Budapest (UVMB), aims to address the limited knowledge on the safety aspects of modern foodstuffs, particularly alternative meat products, by examining the levels of process contaminants (acrylamide and PAH) and metals in meat replacement products made from ingredients most often used for meat replacement in marketed products (e.g. wheat, pea, bean, soy) and insect-based products. The study is conducted in Hungary, Sweden, and Portugal to provide a comprehensive assessment across different regions.
