EFSA requested the Scientific Committee to develop a guidance document on use of weight evidence approach in scientific assessments for all areas under EFSA's remit.The addresses approaches using both qualitative and quantitative approaches.Several case studies covering various remit are annexed illustrate applicability proposed approach.Weight assessment is defined this as process which integrated determine relative support possible answers question.This considers comprising three basic...
Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) derived dietary reference values (DRVs) for sodium. Evidence balance studies sodium relationship between intake health outcomes, in particular cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related endpoints bone health, was reviewed. The data were not sufficient to enable an average requirement (AR) or population (PRI) be derived. However, by integrating available evidence associated uncertainties,...

Abstract Vitamins and essential minerals are micronutrients that required for the normal functioning of human body. However, they may lead to adverse health effects if consumed in excess. A tolerable upper intake level (UL) is a science‐based reference value supports policy‐makers other relevant actors managing risks excess nutrient intake. EFSA's principles establishing ULs vitamins were originally developed by Scientific Committee on Food 2000. This guidance from EFSA Panel Nutrition,...
