EFSA Report on Pilot Project to Develop a Compiled European Food Consumption Database Published
EFSA, the European Food Safety Authority has published results from a project contracted to Creme that investigates the feasibility of developing a "Compiled European Food Consumption Database". Creme worked closely with EFSA on the data analysis, methodology development and the report. National food consumption surveys are a valuable resource for monitoring general health, estimating acute and long-term exposure as well as offering a way to measure the impact of health initiatives. EFSA's important role in risk assessment relies on accurate and comprehensive information relating to food consumption and eating habits of people across Europe. |
