EFSA has proposed a new process for identifying emerging chemical risks in the food and feed chain using a variety of databases that log the incidence The number of new events occurring within a specified time period within a defined geographical area; for example, the number of flu cases per year in Europe of industrial chemicals and environmental chemical contaminants in the EU. The framework would enable risk assessors to anticipate contamination of the food/feed chain by chemical hazards that have not yet been assessed by EFSA or other similar bodies. A procurement will be launched shortly to carry out a pilot study using this approach.
