Aims and scope of the WORKSHOP
    The workshop covers the area of allergenicity of foods of plant
and animal origin. It will be focused on modified foodstuffs regarding
the effect on allergenic properties as well as the production
of hypoallergenic foodstuffs for children and aging consumers,
food supplementation in food allergy in order to ensure a good state
of health for the population.
