This video describes the functionalities of the DietEx tool produced by EFSA.
The Dietary Exposure (DietEx) tool is a user-friendly tool for estimating chronic dietary exposure to substances present in food, e.g. intentionally added or naturally present chemicals, contaminants, proteins, novel food ingredients.
It uses individual consumption data from the EFSA Comprehensive European Food Consumption Database to estimate dietary exposure for different countries, age groups (from infants to adults aged 75 years or older) and, for a limited number of countries, special population groups (e.g. pregnant women, lactating women and vegetarians).
The DietEx tool can be used by applicants, risk assessors as well as risk managers.
