Abstract

Following a general introduction on the main provisions of the Regulation (EC) No. 178/2002, the so-called General Food Law (GFL), this chapter considers the role played by risk analysis in underpinning the development of legislation in this area at the European Union (EU) level, including specific tasks of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) as risk assessor. The chapter also provides a close examination of the type of hazards and more frequently associated risks with imports of non-animal origin, including the impact on human health.

Examples of EFSA’s Scientific Opinions include, but are not limited to (i) Scientific Opinion to evaluate the suitability of existing methodologies and, if appropriate, the identification of new approaches to assess cumulative and synergistic risks from pesticides to human health with a view to set MRLs for those pesticides in the frame of Regulation (EC) 396/2005, EFSA Panel on Plant Protection Products and their Residues (PPR), in EFSA Journal (2008) 704, pp. 1–85; (ii) Scientific Opinion on risk assessment for a selected group of pesticides from the triazole group to test possible methodologies to assess cumulative effects from exposure through food from these pesticides on human health, EFSA Panel on Plant Protection Products and their Residues (PPR), in EFSA J (2009) 7, 1167–1354; (iii) Scientific Opinion on the identification of pesticides to be included in cumulative assessment groups on the basis of their toxicological profile, EFSA Panel on Plant Protection Products and their Residues (PPR), in EFSA J (2013) 11, 3293–3424.
