“Our full agenda for this day-long event shows both the breadth of developments linked to flour milling and the pace of change,” Joe Brennan said about the event, which was over-subscribed. “Delegates attending were able to learn more about the policy issues on the horizon, plus the latest food processing research affecting wheat, flour, and finished products.”
Joe’s own ergot-focused presentation was intriguingly titled: Wheat, witches and werewolves – how a mystical mycotoxin is challenging the modern grain chain.
