What is Exposure-driven Risk Management Strategies for Chemicals in Food about?

The attribution of food-related diseases to a given chemical contaminant is difficult to establish given the lack of strong evidence documenting the negative impacts chemical substances-when present at levels of concern in food-may have on human health. This chapter reviews risk management strategies for foodborne contaminants, building on guidance developed and adopted by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex), the international food standard setting body. These strategies include preventive measures and position the reliance on maximum levels (MLs), as part of a broader approach focused on contributing to reduce the exposure to target chemical contaminants. This chapter also examines guidance issued by Codex for food chemical management and attempts to discuss the introduction of performance indicators in order to assess the effectiveness of the applied management measures, including their ability to produce the sought-after outcomes. These indicators are components of a proposed logic model and are showcased with examples of interventions with the intention to reduce exposure to food chemical contaminants of environmental origin, of natural sources, and induced by food proces
