Description
Annex A – Protocol for the risk assessments for human health related to the presence of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) in food
The Annex is provided as a separate pdf file containing the risk assessment protocol selected by the CONTAM Panel to update the previous risk assessments of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) in food.
Annex B: Occurrence data on HBCDDs in food submitted to EFSA and dietary surveys per country and age group available in the EFSA Comprehensive Database, considered in the exposure assessment
Table B.1 Number of analytical results excluded from the initial dataset during data cleaning, and justification for exclusion
Table B.2 Occurrence values of HBCDDs calculated total (µg/kg) by food category in the final dataset
Table B.3 Food categories of FoodEx and mean LB and UB values as used for the exposure assessment
Table B.4 Dietary surveys and the number of subjects by country and population class, available for the chronic exposure assessment, in the EFSA Comprehensive European Food Consumption Database
Table B.5 Summary statistics on data reported for HBCDDs total, analysed with GC-MS, not considered for the exposure
Figure B.1 Frequency distribution of the occurrence values for the food categories of interest at the LB without zeros presented on a log 10 scale
Figure B.2 Frequency distribution of the occurrence values for the food categories of interest at the UB presented on a log 10 scale
HBCDDs_Raw_Occurrence_Data.CSV contains the raw occurrence dataset on Hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDDs) contaminant as extracted from EFSA DWH in December 2019 on 2530 food samples presented in the opinion as described in its section 3.2.1. Occurrence data submitted to EFSA. The data is provided in .csv format. This dataset is compliant with EFSA SSD model and contains two additional columns documenting issues identified in the cleaning process (column: issue) and the action taken (column: outcome) to address the issue (e.g. delete record or update values in specific fields).
The link to the catalogues of controlled terminologies can be found under "Related identifiers”.
Annex D: Chronic dietary exposure to HBCDDs and the contribution of different food groups to the dietary exposure
Table D.1 Mean chronic dietary exposure (ng/kg b.w. per day) to HBCDDs for total population across European dietary surveys
Table D.2 95th percentile chronic exposures to HBCDDs (ng/kg b.w. per day) for total population for each dietary survey across age classes
Table D.3 Relative contribution (%) of food categories to the LB and UB estimates of dietary exposure to HBCDDs across different age classes, dietary surveys and countries
Table D.4 Relative contribution of food categories to the LB estimates of dietary exposure to HBCDDs and related figure
Table D.5 Relative contribution of food categories to the UB estimates of dietary exposure to HBCDDs and related figure
Annex E – Outcome of the Public consultation on the Update of the risk assessment of hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDDs) in food
The Annex is provided as a separate pdf file contain the outcome of the public consultation of the
draft scientific Opinion, including the comments received and how they were taken into account when
finalising the scientific Opinion
