EFSA launches new webtool to calculate dietary exposure to food enzymes
European Union
Jul 24, 2024
The Food Enzyme Intake Model (FEIM) web tool marks the culmination of a broad effort initiated by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in 2016, bringing together data on the use of food enzymes in various manufacturing processes with information on the exposure of different population groups to food enzymes.
Launched on the occasion of the first plenary meeting of EFSA’s new Food Enzymes (FEZ) Panel, the tool will enable users to obtain intake estimates for specific enzymes per manufacturing process and also to calculate cumulative exposure from multiple manufacturing processes simultaneously. It will not only support food enzyme manufacturers in compiling exposure data for application dossiers but also empower consumers with information on their dietary exposure to food enzymes.
