Food and Color Additives Exposure Assessment

Format	Author(s)	Title / Description	Date added	Details
	European Food Safety Authority	Consumption of Food and Beverages with Added Plant Sterols The report highlights that while there seems to be little over-consumption of food and beverages with added plant sterols in the EU, a small established subgroup appears to be consuming in excess of recommended amounts. It also reveals low consumer awareness of labelling and dietary guidelines for such products and of the need to consume sufficient fruit and vegetables to ensure robust blood carotenoid levels.

	DiNovi, Michael J., and Paul M. Kuznesof	Estimating Exposure to Direct Food Additives and Chemical Contaminants in the Diet This report describes the databases and methodologies used by the Office of Premarket Approval in FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition to estimate exposure to food additives and other substances. It discusses sources of data for estimating exposure and how to model exposure analysis. Examples are given for single-use additives, multiple-use additives, chemical contaminants, and special cases.

	Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives	Evaluation of Certain Food Additives and Contaminants A draft version of the WHO Technical Report from the 67th JECFA meeting. This draft was made available for information to facilitate the discussion at Codex meetings on food additives and contaminants, which is not final. (more) Publication Year: 2007	May 22, 2008
	Maitani, Tamio	Evaluation of Exposure to Chemical Substances through Foods - Exposure to Pesticides, Heavy Metals, Dioxins, Acrylamide and Food Additives in Japan Review of results of Japanese total diet studies with respect to exposure levels of consumers to food contaminants and additives.

	Svensson, Kettil	Exposure from Food Contact Materials Summary report of a workshop that was organized by the Packaging Material Task Force, ILSI Europe in collaboration with the Joint Research Centre, European Commission, held October 15-16, 2001 in Ispra, Italy. The workshop addressed such issues as risk assessment, exposure elements, food consumption data, future tools (including probabilistic modelling and biomarkers), food packaging usage, and migration aspects.
