TL;DR: The estimated mean chronic dietary exposure was above the group‐TDI in infants, toddlers and other children, and at high exposure also in adolescents and adults, indicating a potential health concern.

TL;DR: For PFOS, the increase in serum total cholesterol in adults, and the decrease in antibody response at vaccination in children were identified as the critical effects and the CONTAM Panel established a tolerable weekly intake (TWI) of 13 ng/kg body weight (bw) per week for PFOS and 6 ng/ kg bw for PFOA.

TL;DR: The estimated cancer risks in humans following exposure to AFB1 and AFM1 are in‐line with the conclusion drawn from the MOEs, and the conclusions also apply to the combined exposure to all five aflatoxins.

TL;DR: Exposure to the sum of T2 and HT2 in farm and companion animals varied according to the animal species, and among processed foods the main contributors were cereal flakes, fine bakery wares and, for acute exposure, also bread and rolls.

TL;DR: The margin of exposure approach was applied and an MOE of 30 or higher was considered as being indicative of a low health concern, and the MOE values for the mean UB acute dietary exposure and for the 95th percentile UB raises a health concern for nickel‐sensitised individuals.
