A recent European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) project explored new methods to understand the immunotoxicity of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). At the same time, one Swiss canton has called on Parliament to develop a PFAS action plan after finding widespread contamination on farms, and has banned the sale of beef with high levels of the chemical.
A recent European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) technical report has summarized emerging chemical risks to food safety identified by the agency and its processes for doing so, covering the period 2020–2023.
In a new scientific opinion, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) warns that antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to critical antibiotics is increasing in some Vibrio species, and that the prevalence of the pathogen is expected to increase globally due to climate change.
The European Food Safety Authority’s (EFSA’s) new Food Enzyme Intake Model (FEIM) web tool helps the food industry and consumers estimate dietary exposure to specific food enzymes per manufacturing processes.
Consumer watchdog group Safe Food Advocacy Europe (SAFE) recently published a position paper calling upon the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to set legally binding limits for contaminant acrylamide in foods.
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has identified health risks of dietary exposure to dimethylarsinic acid (DMA), small organic arsenic species in food.
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has set new safe daily intake levels for iron, which can help inform risk managers involved in the production of iron supplements and iron-fortified food products.
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) recently suggested lowering the acceptable daily intake (ADI) for acetamiprid after scientific evidence was published that raised uncertainties about its toxicity. EFSA also recommends lowering the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for acetamiprid in food crops, as current MRLs pose a health risk to consumers.
