7759 Government of Canada The Government of Canada responds to reports of melamine in food products
URL: http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/fn-an/securit/chem-chim/melamine-eng.php
Format: HTML
Recently, there have been reports from several countries of the possible contamination of a variety of food products with the chemical melamine, including products containing milk and milk-derived ingredients from China. Melamine is a synthetic chemical used in a variety of industrial applications including the production of resins and foams, cleaning products, fertilizers and pesticides. It is not naturally occurring and is not allowed to be added to food.

7760 Food Standards Australia New Zealand Risk assessment and referral levels for dairy foods and foods containing dairy-based ingredients adulterated with melamine
URL: http://www.foodstandards.gov.au/newsroom/factsheets/factsheets2008/melamineinfoodsfromchina/riskassessmentandref4064.cfm
Format: HTML
In September 2008 FSANZ became aware of media reports which indicated that m ore than 50 000 infants and young children in China had sought treatment for renal tube blockages and kidney stones following consumption of infant formula adulterated with melamine. In response to this incident the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) prepared an i nterim risk assessment for melamine and related compounds analogues. This risk assessment established a tolerable daily intake (TDI) of 0.63 mg/kilogram body weight/day that included a 100-fold safety factor and considered the likely risk to humans arising from consumption of meat and eggs derived from animals that had eaten feed contaminated with melamine compounds. The risk assessment concluded that the dietary risk to humans from this source was very low.

URL: http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/2008/ucm116960.htm
Format: HTML PDF
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued the results of its interim safety and risk assessment of melamine and melamine-related compounds in food, including infant formula. The purpose of the FDA interim safety/risk assessment was to identify the level of melamine and melamine-related compounds in food which would not raise public health concerns. The interim safety/risk assessment evaluated the melamine exposure in infant formula and in other foods.

2638 Chen, J.J., et al. Using Dose Addition to Estimate Cumulative Risks from Exposures to Multiple Chemicals
URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1006/rtph.2001.1485
Format: HTML PDF
This paper presents a procedure to estimate cumulative risk from multiple chemicals by using the dose-response function of the mixture through dose addition. This procedure is compared to the hazard index, point-of-departure index, and toxicity equivalence factor methods. Subscription is required to access the full text.
