Clear guidance on conducting Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) of nanomaterials is becoming more and more relevant as new applications of nanomaterials in the food and feed chain are developed. Upon request from EFSA, this report compiles and structures ...
In September 2020, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) facilitated an online workshop on crisis preparedness and procedures with Members and Observers of EFSA's Focal Point Network. The overall aims of the event were, in the context of a food o ...
An extensive literature search to identify and collect studies related to the toxicity of grayanotoxins and 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (5‐HMF) was performed in the three databases PubMed, Web of Science and SciFinder ® for six and four Areas, respectively. A ...
The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) was developed to provide a generic safety evaluation for biological agents to support EFSA's Scientific Panels. It is based on an assessment of the taxonomic identity, the body of knowledge, safety concerns a ...
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 ...
The present document is a summary of the activities undertaken during the first year of the framework contract (OC/EFSA/SCER/2018/01) undertaken for the maintenance, update and further development of EFSA's chemical Hazards database “OpenFodTox 2.0”. ...
The European Commission (EC)requested the European Food and Safety Authority (EFSA) for an opinion on genetically modified organisms for agri‐food uses and developed through synthetic biology (SynBio) and their implications for risk assessment methodologi ...
The European Commission requested the European Food and Safety Authority for an opinion on genetically modified organisms for agri‐food uses and developed through synthetic biology (SynBio) and their implications for risk assessment methodologies. In prep ...
EFSA has requested the Vextornet consortium to undertake a series of spatial distribution models for seven potential mosquito vectors of Rift Valley fever virus, namely Aedes albopictus, Aedes caspius, Aedes detritus, Aedes japonicus, Aedes vexans, Culex ...
The overall aim of this scientific report is the assessment of the probability of entry of Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) into the European Union (EU) through active or passive movement of vectors. Two different import pathways were considered in this rep ...
