TL;DR: The CONTAM Panel concluded that parts of the European population exceed this tolerable weekly intake (TWI) of 4.4 ng/kg bw per week, which is of concern, and protects against other potential adverse effects observed in humans.

TL;DR: This updated guidance does not call for a general re‐evaluation of previous assessments where the NOAEL approach or the BMD approach as described in the 2009 SC guidance was used, in particular when the exposure is clearly smaller than the health‐based guidance value.

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: The Panel wishes to acknowledge all European competent institutions, Member State bodies and other organisations that provided data for this scientific output.

TL;DR: Body burdens of the studied metals were generally below health based reference values, but several individuals had blood Pb levels above the reference point for possible nephrotoxic and developmental neurotoxic effects.
