Lead is a natural environmental contaminant, but its use in the past in water pipes, paint and petrol increased its general presence. Food is the major source of human exposure to lead. Lead accumulates in the body and most seriously affects the developin ...
In this report, harmonised epidemiological indicators are proposed for food-borne biological hazards to public health that are related to poultry and meat thereof and that can be addressed within meat inspection. These hazards include Salmonella, Campylob ...
Proposals to improve the harmonisation of monitoring and reporting of antimicrobial resistance in Salmonella, Campylobacter coli and jejuni, indicator Escherichia coli and Enterococcus from food producing animals and derived meat by the European Union Mem ...
Perfluoroalkylated substances (PFASs) are highly fluorinated aliphatic compounds with high thermal and chemical stability, as well as high surface activity. PFASs are used in a range of industrial and chemical applications e.g. textiles, paper, packaging ...
The antimicrobial resistance data on zoonotic and indicator bacteria in 2010, submitted by 26 European Union Member States, were jointly analysed by the European Food Safety Authority and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. Data covere ...
