A risk‐based approach was developed to be followed by food business operators (FBO) when deciding on the type of date marking (i.e. ‘best before’ date or ‘use by’ date), setting of shelf‐life (i.e. time) and the related information on the label to ensure ...
Effectiveness of surveillance and control measures against Rift Valley Fever (RVF) in Mayotte (overseas France) and in continental EU were assessed using mathematical models. Surveillance for early detection of RVF virus circulation implies very low desig ...
EFSA was requested to estimate the cattle bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) risk (C‐, L‐ and H‐BSE) posed by ruminant collagen and gelatine produced from raw material fit for human consumption, or from material classified as Category 3 animal by‐prod ...
In this project we set up a human cell‐based DNT in vitro testing strategy that is based on test methods with high readiness and data generated therefrom. The methods underwent afit‐for‐purpose evaluation that considered four key elements: 1. The test sys ...
Two alternative methods for the production of compost from certain category 3 animal by‐products (catering waste and processed foodstuffs of animal origin) were assessed. The first proposed a minimum temperature of 55°C for 72 h; the second 60°C for 48 h, ...
The Mixed‐lineage leukemia (MLL) gene constitutes a genomic hotspot commonly rearranged/translocated in human acute leukemia (AL). MLL rearrangements (MLL r) represent a common hallmark of both de novo AL and therapy‐related acute myeloid leukemia (t‐AML) ...
To harmonise vertebrate OECD Test Guidelines for endocrine disruption testing between mammalian and non‐mammalian test species, additional Estrogen, Androgen, Thyroid and Steroidogenesis (EATS) modality endpoints in non‐mammalian models need to be assesse ...
The 2011 EFSA opinion on Campylobacter was updated using more recent scientific data. The relative risk reduction in EU human campylobacteriosis attributable to broiler meat was estimated for on‐farm control options using Population Attributable Fractions ...
On‐land transport/storage of fresh fishery products (FFP) for up to 3 days in ‘tubs’ of three‐layered poly‐ethylene filled with freshwater and ice was compared to the currently authorised practice (fish boxes of high‐density poly‐ethylene filled with ice) ...
EFSA has commissioned the VectorNet consortium to undertake a series of spatial distribution models for seven potential mosquito vectors of Rift Valley fever virus, namely Aedesalbopictus, Aedescaspius, Aedes detritus, Aedesjaponicus, Aedesvexans, Culexpi ...
