The need for this colloquium was triggered by a request by the European Commission for EFSA to provide an updated RBA of fish consumption in relation to the presence of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs.įollowing consultations with EU Member States and EFSA’s scientific experts, EFSA and the Commission agreed that the assessment should consider a broader group of environmental contaminants: dioxins (PCDD/Fs) and dioxin-like PCBs, methylmercury, brominated flame retardants and perfluoroalkyl substances. At the same time, the number of questions from risk managers about weighing health benefits and risks of eating these foods is rising. Our scientific knowledge continues to grow about the human health benefits of individual nutrients in foods and the potential adverse health effects of other substances contained in the same foods such as contaminants, residues of pesticides and veterinary drugs.

The guidance will inform a wide-ranging assessment of the health risks and health benefits of fish consumption, the first of several such planned assessments.ĭon’t miss the opportunity to shape this important work – register now! Background
#FEED AND GROW FISH VIDEOS UPDATE#
The discussions and key outcomes of the colloquium will help to inform an update of the EFSA Scientific Committee’s guidance on RBA, published in 2010. EFSA invites experts in this field to take part in a scientific colloquium on RBA in February 2022. Risk-benefit assessment (RBA) of food poses significant scientific challenges given the need to weigh the nutritional and health benefits of food types against the potential health risks from hazards such as environmental contaminants present in food.
