In today’s chocolate industry, ensuring product safety has become more critical than ever. Increasing regulatory scrutiny and growing consumer awareness are placing contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticide residues, mycotoxins, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), MOSH & MOAH, and acrylamide under close examination. Understanding these contaminants and their presence in cocoa and chocolate products is essential for professionals across the value chain.
At Cacaolab, we aim to provide clarity on these complex topics. That’s why we’re pleased to invite you, together with our partner Primoris Belgium, to our upcoming webinar focused on contaminants in cocoa. This session will offer a structured overview of the most relevant contaminants, their typical occurrence, and the current regulatory framework shaping the industry.
During this webinar, you’ll gain valuable insights from both analytical and scientific perspectives. A first presentation will highlight real-world data from laboratory analyses, illustrating which contaminants are most frequently detected and how they relate to existing legislation. This will be complemented by in-depth explanations of the origins of the different contaminants across the cocoa and chocolate supply chain.
Whether you are involved in cocoa sourcing, ingredient manufacturing, or chocolate production, this webinar will equip you with the knowledge needed to better understand contaminants, interpret analytical results, and navigate an increasingly demanding regulatory environment.
