Both papers were presented in short talks at the Swiss Food Science Meeting 2019 in Neuchâtel.

During the Swiss Food Science Meeting (SFSM), the best young scientist poster presented is awarded by the SFC. It is selected by a vote of the participants of the SFSM. The award is handed over during the closing session of the meeting. The prize amounts to 500 CHF. The poster “Residues of mineral oil in paper straws and paper baking cups” of Elisabeth Tobler presented at the Swiss Food Science Meeting 2019 at Neuchâtel was rewarded with the SFC Young Scientist Poster Award 2019.
