Migration of mineral oil from cardboard packaging for food: Identification of the hazards and assessment of the exposure of the Belgian population
carcinogenic, no adequate dose-response carcinogenicity data are available and consequently, no MOE-based risk assessment could be performed. Two worst‐case scenarios were applied to obtain some preliminary ...
Prioritizing substances of genotoxic concern for in-depth safety evaluation using non-animal approaches: The example of food contact materials.
substances could all be assigned to one of the four priority classes (ranging from low to very high concern). Importantly, 19 substances were considered of very high concern due to in vivo genotoxicity. Five ...
Assessment of estrogenic compounds in paperboard for dry food packaging with the ERE-CALUX bioassay
exposure and mixture effects of these EDC s, they could cause health effects even at very low doses. Many EDC s are still unknown and many more are still unregulated. The ERE- CALUX bioassay was used as ...
(Q)SAR tools for priority setting: A case study with printed paper and board food contact material substances.
allowed to identify 53 substances for which Ames mutagenicity prediction already has in vitro Ames test results. For further prioritization, additional support could be obtained by applying local i.e. ...
Study of the possible migration risks of food contact materials for children under 3 years
been encountered. Baby cups, teats, dinnerware and other infant FCM s were studied as well. However, for the latter items, a major percentage of the polymers used for their production could generally not ...
