Keeping our families safe: All you need to know about Harmful Chemicals in the Kitchen

​In a world overflowing with information (and disinformation), it’s hard to know what’s really safe for our health and our families.
In this workshop, we’ll take a clear, science-based look at the materials that touch our food every day, from containers and bottles to packaging.

You’ll learn:

• ​​Basic concepts in toxicology that will help you spot fear-mongering content and recognize science-based information.

• ​​Regulations in place in Europe that aim to protect citizens from harmful chemicals, and why they’re sometimes not enough.

• ​​What’s truly worth avoiding in your kitchen and what’s perfectly safe.

• ​​How to make smarter choices without wasting time or money.

• ​​The environmental impact of food contact materials and how small, practical swaps can protect both your well-being and the planet.

​​Leave empowered, not scared, with clear facts and simple ideas you can start applying right away.
