Retrospective surveillance of viable Bacillus cereus group contaminations in commercial food and feed vitamin B2 products sold on the Belgian market using whole-genome sequencing
common. All isolates carried multiple genes encoding virulence factors, including cytotoxin K-2 (52.78%) and cereulide (22.22%). Most isolates were predicted to be resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics ...
Hazard characterization of Alternaria toxins to identify data gaps and improve risk assessment for human health.
Fungi of the genus Alternaria are ubiquitous plant pathogens and saprophytes which are able to grow under varying temperature and moisture conditions as well as on a large range of substrates. A spectrum ...
Modelling the pesticide transfer during tea and herbal tea infusions by the identification of critical infusion parameters.
limits. Consideration of the transfer of pesticides from the leaves (called transfer factors) to the brew is essential to assess the associated risk. This study identified infusion parameters influencing ...
Association between adherence to the EAT-Lancet sustainable reference diet and cardiovascular health among European adolescents: the HELENA study.
Lachat, Carl; Marchioni, Dirce Maria; Huybrechts, Inge; Moreno, Luis A Source: Eur J Clin Nutr (2023) Abstract: BACKGROUND: The EAT-Lancet Commission proposed a global reference diet to promote healthy ...
Identification and characterization of inorganic food additives and pearlescent pigments in sprays for food decoration by STEM-EDX
products and domestic cooking to enhance the appearance of food. To obtain specific hues, inorganic food additives containing (nano)particles are mixed in varying concentrations, and pearlescent pigments ...
Urine concentrations of Arsenic and its species in adolescents from Wallonia (Belgium).
and seafood. On the other hand, for TRA, not only the consumption of fish and seafood, but also the consumption of rice were relevant partitioning criteria. Gender seemed not to have a significant ...
Development of novel analytical methods to trace small micro- and nanoplastics in food matrices
human health. Most of the produced plastics are used for packaging items, from cosmetic to food applications. Up to now, the most common plastics used for packaging have been petroleum-derived, such as ...
Strain-level characterization without culture enrichment? Easing and accelerating outbreak investigation using shotgun metagenomics facilitated with nanopore adaptive sampling
samples during an outbreak investigation requires the samples to be enriched in order to reach detectable levels. However, a bias can occur during the enrichment of the food due to competition between the ...
EFSA Project on the use of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) for the hazard assessment of nanofibres. Lot 1, nanocellulose oral exposure: gastrointestinal digestion, nanofibres uptake and local effects
NC. In the present project, a NAM-based IATA for addressing data gaps in the assessment of potential hazards associated to NC oral exposure was considered. This IATA focused on three main pillars, i.e. ...
The SILIFOOD application: a new tool to support risk assessment of non-evaluated food contact materials substances
