|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | The Commission requests EFSA in accordance with Article 29 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 for a scientific opinion on the risks to human health related to the presence of nitrofurans and their metabolites in food. In particular this opinion should comprise the: a) evaluation of the toxicity of nitrofurans and their metabolites for humans, considering all relevant toxicological endpoints and identification of the toxicological relevance of nitrofurans nd their metabolites present in food; b) exposure of the EU population to nitrofurans and their metabolites from food, including the consumption patterns of specific (vulnerable) groups of the population; c) assessment of the appropriateness of using marker metabolites of nitrofurans for the reference point for action for food of animal origin;d) evaluation whether a reference point for action of 1 µg/kg for nitrofuran metabolites as defined in legislation in food of animal origin is adequate to protect public health; e) assessment of the appropriateness of applying the reference point for action considered adequate to protect public health to other commodities than food of animal origin. |
