Annex B to the technical report on the raw primary commodity (RPC) model - Summary statistics of the output data

The raw primary commodity model:

Dietary exposure is typically calculated by combining food consumption data with occurrence data. EFSA’s food consumption data are stored in the Comprehensive European Food Consumption Database (Comprehensive Database). Some of these data, however, cannot be used in exposure assessments when the occurrence data are reported for the raw primary commodities (RPCs). The RPC model aims to bridge this gap by transforming the Comprehensive Database into RPC consumption data. Using the RPC model, EFSA successfully developed a new RPC Consumption Database, which contains 51 dietary surveys from 23 different countries. These surveys cover a total of 94,532 subjects and 26,573,088 RPC consumption records. The consumption data generated by the RPC model were manually checked and validated by means of case studies. These case studies demonstrated that the RPC consumption data are suitable for assessing dietary exposure to chemicals where the occurrence data are predominantly available for RPCs.

Annex B to the technical report on the raw primary commodity model:

Annex B is an excel file which presents summary statistics of the output data generated by the RPC model. The following tables are included in Annex B:

Table B.1 :Summary statistics of chronic RPC consumption expressed in g/kg bw per day (total population)

Table B.2 :Summary statistics of chronic RPC consumption expressed in g/day (total population)

Table B.3 :Summary statistics of acute RPC consumption expressed in g/kg bw (consumers only)

Table B.4 :Summary statistics of acute RPC consumption expressed in g (consumers only)

Table B.5 :Comparison of the RPC consumption data with RPC consumption data used in EFSA's Pesticides Residues Intake Model (PRIMo)

Table B.6 :Contribution of processed products to the average chronic RPC consumption
