Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in spices and dried herbs and associated risk for the Belgian population
ng day-1 for average and high consumption, respectively. The risk for the consumer was evaluated by using the margin of exposure (MOE). In all cases, MOE were >20 000, indicating a low concern for ...
Assessment of hazards and risks associated with dietary exposure to mineral oil for the Belgian population
used as point of departure (PoD). Due to existing toxicological uncertainties, the margin of exposure (MOE) approach was applied. In all investigated scenarios, the MOE values were well above 100, ...
Update of the risk assessment of hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDDs) in food
a health‐based guidance value (HBGV) was not considered appropriate. Instead, the margin of exposure (MOE) approach was applied to assess possible health concerns. Over 6,000 analytical results for HBCDD s in food ...
Dietary exposure assessment and risk characterization of citrinin and ochratoxin A in Belgium
(biscuits, croissants, rice, flour, meat imitates, herbs and spices) in the higher percentiles (P99) or at maximum found concentrations when calculating the margin of exposure (MoE) for neoplastic effects. An ...
Position paper on the use of an “estimated acceptable concentration” (EAC) as basis for a control policy's action level for carcinogens unintentionally present in food
Vleminckx; Van Huffel, Xavier; Peter Hoet Source: Trends in Food Science & Technology (2020) Keywords: Carcinogen Food safety management genotoxic ‘Margin of exposure’ (MOE) Abstract: Background In the ...
Update of the risk assessment of nickel in food and drinking water
lowest‐observed‐adverse‐effect‐level of 4.3 μg Ni/kg bw was selected as the reference point. The margin of exposure (MOE) approach was applied and an MOE of 30 or higher was considered as being indicative of a low health concern. The ...
Risk assessment of glycoalkaloids in feed and food, in particular in potatoes and potato‐derived products
Volume 18, Issue 8 (2020) Keywords: chaconine feed food glycoalkaloids (GAs) margin of exposure (MOE) Potato solanine Abstract: The European Commission asked EFSA for a scientific opinion on the risks for ...
Risk assessment of ochratoxin A in food
Keywords: dietary exposure assessment hazard characterisation margin of exposure approach Ochratoxin risk characterisation Abstract: The European Commission asked EFSA to update their 2006 opinion on ...
Risk assessment of aflatoxins in food
Keywords: aatoxin cancer exposure food Liver margin of exposure (MOE) occurrence Abstract: EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the risks to public health related to the presence of aflatoxins ...
Scientific opinion on the risks for animal and human health related to the presence of quinolizidine alkaloids in feed and food, in particular in lupins and lupin‐derived products
are considered to be critical for human hazard characterisation. The CONTAM Panel used a margin of exposure (MOE) approach identifying a lowest single oral effective dose of 0.16 mg sparteine/kg body ...
