Project code: BfR-QUER-08-1342-453
Contract period: 01.11.2007 - 30.11.2008
Purpose of research: Applied research

Exposure assessments, based on knowledge about the eating habits of consumers, are an important precondition for the health assessment of substances and germs. Only when up-to-date and differentiated food consumption data are available can health risks be realisti-cally assessed, risk groups or high risk eating habits identified, maximum levels established and the marketing authorisation applications for substances and products correctly evalu-ated. For that reason the Member States of the European Union record national food con-sumption data which the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) would like to input into a database. BfR was commissioned by EFSA to carry work forward on the setting up and de-velopment of the EFSA European Food Consumption Concise Database? in its research project Support to complete EFSA?s Food Consumption Concise Database (SuConDa)?. In this project BfR supports the provision of food consumption data for exposure assessments on the EU level and gives its backing to high quality exposure assessment on the interna-tional level based on the actual eating habits of consumers.
