EFSA launches exposure tool for food enzymes
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has published the Food Enzyme Intake Model (FEIM), a tool for estimating chronic dietary exposure to food enzymes used in different food processes.
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has published the Food Enzyme Intake Model (FEIM), a tool for estimating chronic dietary exposure to food enzymes used in different food processes. FEIM follows the methodology recommended in 2016 by EFSA’s Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavorings, and Processing Aids (CEF). It has been developed based on actual food consumption data collected by Member States and stored in the EFSA Comprehensive European Food Consumption Database.
The user-friendly tool allows applicants, risk assessors, and risk managers to estimate dietary exposure to food enzymes used in individual food manufacturing processes, such as baking or brewing.
