The European Commission asked EFSA for a scientific opinion on the risks for animal and human health related to the presence of glycoalkaloids (GAs) in feed and food. This risk assessment covers edible parts of potato plants and other food plants containi ...
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) carried out a public consultation to receive input from interested parties on a draft scientific opinion on the risks for animal and human health related to the presence of glycoalkaloids in feed and food, in part ...
The report summarises the monitoring data collected in 2018 on the presence of residues of veterinary medicinal products and certain substances in live animals and animal products in the European Union. A total of 657,818 samples were reported to the Euro ...
The present document is a summary of the update and maintenance of the EFSA's Chemical Hazards Database that has been established few years ago to map the hazard data as collected from the EFSA opinions, statements and conclusions; more specifically ...
This scientific report provides a review of modern methodologies and tools to depict toxicokinetic and toxicodynamic processes and their application for the human hazard assessment of chemicals. The application of these methods is illustrated with example ...
The development of harmonised terminology and frameworks for the human risk assessment of combined exposure to multiple chemicals (“chemical mixtures”) is an important area for EFSA and a number of activities have already been undertaken, i.e. in the fiel ...
Risk assessment of chemicals in food and feed is a major activity of EFSA, covering the work of many units and panels, including: food additives, flavourings, processing aids and materials in contact with food (AFC) (2005-2008), food additives and nutrien ...
Upon request of the European Commission, the Scientific Committee (SC) of the European Food Safety Authority reviewed existing information related to the testing and assessment of endocrine active substances (EASs) and endocrine disruptors (EDs). This wor ...
The purpose of this project was to summarise the state of the science on combined actions of chemicals in food through dissimilar modes of action and to propose a science basedapproach for performing the related cumulative risk assessment (CRA). A systema ...
