- Lack of data on the presence of halogenated flame retardants (HFRs) in food: EFSA indicated that it is not possible to perform an accurate risk assessment on the occurrence of HFRs in food and consequently on the exposure to HFRs via the diet.
- This project follows up the European Commission Recommendation 2014/118/EU on the monitoring of HFRs in food. Due to the diverse nature of the considered HFRs, two analytical methods, based on gas chromatography in combination with electron capture negative ionization mass spectrometry (GC‐ECNI/MS) and ultra‐high performance liquid chromatography‐tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC‐MS/MS), were developed and in‐house validated.
- In 2015 and 2016, 183 composite food samples, belonging to 15 different food categories, were analyzed in the frame of the project.
