Final conference FP7 RTD project FACET (Flavours, Additives and food Contact materials Exposure Tool)
26th October 2012
Brussels, Belgium
The FP7 RTD project FACET (Flavours, Additives and food Contact materials Exposure Tool) project is now completed.
Its achievement are presented to its stakeholders. The event is taking place on Friday 26th October in Brussels.
The concept behind this project is the creation of a food chemical exposure system, sustainable beyond the project life, which covers representative regions of the EU and which will meet, to the highest possible standard, the needs of the EU regulatory authorities in the protection of consumer health.
The achievements of the project were:
To record occurrence levels of targeted chemicals in representative regions of the EU food supply.
To create a database of targeted food chemical concentrations in foods.
To establish a migration modeling framework for complex packaging materials into foods under real conditions of use to deliver realistic concentration estimates for consumer exposure modeling.
To construct a tiered food intake database aimed at foods which are relevant to the target food chemicals. The database is tiered from very comprehensive data to less detailed data to reflect the existing variability in the access to, and level of detail in, food intake data.
To develop a PC based, publicly available software programme, taking into account the variation of national food consumption data, which draws on limited data, built on known laws governing food intake and in particular built on small national surveys and local knowledge to model regional intake of target foods.
To build new databases, populated with the data generated by the project to provide estimates of exposure using the probabilistic model.
