Abstract

Data on the intake of foods and food constituents (nutrients, contaminants, additives, etc.) are needed to:

  • Estimate health risks from food constituents as a basis for recommendations on dietary habits

  • Carry out epidemiological studies on the relation between dietary components and health

  • Study time-trends in dietary intakes and thus obtain an early warning of impending problems

  • Set maximum permitted levels for additives and contaminants in foods
