Voedselverpakkingen: Ontwikkelingen in risicobeoordeling

In 2016 the EFSA issued an opinion on recent developments in the risk assessment of substances migrating into food for public consideration.
Along with an evaluation of the available information, toxicological data on structurally similar substances may be used for the assessment if sufficiently justified with the aim to reduce animal studies as far as possible. For the risk assessment of NIASs it is possible to apply in silico methods in the absence of experimental toxicological data. Additionally, new technologies such as the use of nanomaterials, active and intelligent packaging and recycled plastics are challenging tasks in EFSA's risk assessment (NCBI abstract, juni 2017).
