Acrylamide follow up meeting set for 10 December
Stakeholders and interested parties can register to attend a follow-up meeting to discuss comments received during the public consultation on EFSA’s draft scientific opinionOpinions include risk assessments on general scientific issues, evaluations of an application for the authorisation of a product, substance or claim, or an evaluation of a risk assessment on acrylamide in food. The consultation took place from 1 July to 15 September 2014.
The meeting will give EFSA’s scientific experts and staff the opportunity to discuss with all contributing stakeholders and other relevant parties their feedback on the Authority’s first full risk assessmentA specialised field of applied science that involves reviewing scientific data and studies in order to evaluate risks associated with certain hazards. It involves four steps: hazard identification, hazard characterisation, exposure assessment and risk characterisation of acrylamide in food. EFSA aims to ensure a full understanding of these comments prior to the final adoption of the scientific opinion in 2015.
The event takes place in Brussels on 10th December 2014. For more details and registration:
