Evaluation of the shucking of certain species of scallops contaminated with domoic acid with a view to the production of edible parts meeting the safety requirements foreseen in the Union legislation
levels in edible parts are below the regulatory limit after shucking. This should include five species of scallops. In addition, EFSA was asked to recommend the number of scallops to be used in an ...
Safety assessment of titanium dioxide (E171) as a food additive
studies with TiO2 NP s < 30 nm were of limited relevance to the safety assessment of E 171. The Panel concluded that although gastrointestinal absorption of TiO2 particles is low, they may accumulate in ...
Evaluation of the shucking of certain species of scallops contaminated with lipophilic toxins with a view to the production of edible parts meeting the safety requirements foreseen in the Union legislation
was asked by the European Commission to provide information on levels of lipophilic shellfish toxins in whole scallops that would ensure levels in edible parts below the regulatory limits after ...
Optimization and validation of an analytical method for the quantification of short- and medium-chained chlorinated paraffins in food by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry
Fractionation using silica cartridges efficiently removed a number of potentially interfering halogenated compound classes from sample extracts while retaining 96% of ∑ SCCP s and 99% of ∑ MCCP s. Limits of ...
The effect of a shelf placement intervention on sales of healthier and less healthy breakfast cereals in supermarkets: A co-designed pilot study.
with a commercial retailer is feasible, but concurrent retail environment factors likely limited the public health impact of the intervention. Health Topics: Food consumption and food safety ...
A genoserotyping system for a fast and objective identification of Salmonella serotypes commonly isolated from poultry and pork food sectors in Belgium.
pork- and poultry-derived food products. Therefore, a strict monitoring of Salmonella serotypes in food-producing animals is needed to limit the transmission of the pathogen to humans. Additionally, ...
Development of a genoserotyping system for the identification of Salmonella serotypes
(EU regulation N°2160/2003, Belgian royal decree 27/04/2007 and Belgian FASFC note BP- MN- FDS / LABO /1557457 v8), with the aim to limit their transmission to humans. Unfortunately, the classical ...
Development and Validation of a UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS Method for Quantification of Oleandrin and Other Cardiac Glycosides and Evaluation of Their Levels in Herbs and Spices from the Belgian Market
urine were diluted with acidified water and purified on Oasis® HLB SPE cartridges. Limits of quantification were in the range of 1.5–15 ng/g for herbs and 0.025–1 ng/mL for urine. The mean recovery of ...
Food groups and risk of coronary heart disease, stroke and heart failure: A systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of prospective studies
about the amounts of food associated with the greatest change in risk of specific cardiovascular outcomes and about the quality of meta-evidence is limited. Therefore, the aim of this meta-analysis was to ...
Simultaneous determination of parabens, bisphenols and alkylphenols in human placenta by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry
limits of detection and quantification are in the range of 0.1–0.3 ng g−1 and 0.2–0.7 ng g−1, respectively. The applicability of the method was demonstrated on 71 human placenta samples from a Belgian ...
