Technical Summary
Total Diet Studies (TDS; TDSEXPOSURE) facilitate risk assessment (RA) and health monitoring (HM) by obtaining information on real dietary exposure to food contaminants consumption and estimating chronic exposure to pesticide residues in food and food additives intake. TDS consider total exposure from whole diets and are based on food contamination as consumed rather than contamination from raw commodities, thus ensuring a realistic exposure measure. Some EU Member States (MS) and Candidate Countries (CC) have no TDS programme or use various methods to collect data, which were not examined yet to tell whether they are comparable or not. This is of interest for European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and WHO-FAO. Similarly it is important to harmonise methods to assess dietary exposure risks in MS, CC and at the European level compared with other world regions. The methods proposed will aim for food sampling, standard analytical procedures, exposure assessment modelling, priority foods and selected chemical contaminants consistency across MS and CC. Various approaches and methods to identify sampling and analyses will be assessed and best practice defined. Contaminants and foods which contribute most to total exposure in European populations will be defined. Priority will be given to training and support in EU MS and CC currently without TDS. It will demonstrate best practice in creating a TDS programme using harmonised methods in regions previously lacking TDS, and ensure consistency of data collected. A database will be set up describing existing EU studies and collating harmonised exposure measures and designed to allow risk assessors and managers handling dietary exposure more accurately and more specifically. The project will spread excellence in TDS throughout stakeholders and establish a legacy of harmonised methods for sampling and analysis, and science-based recommendations for future global studies.

| Description | The immediate impact of TDS-EXPOSURE has been the creation of an information system for TDS and exposure assessment software for food contaminants, which will be useful for risk assessors and risk managers for existing EU TDSs. The majority of organisations currently responsible for EU TDS (CZ, FR, IE, IT, UK, ES, NL etc.) are engaged with TDS-EXPOSURE, and one work package was entirely dedicated to building a resource (FoodCASE-Risk) to meet users' need and managing existing data. To estimate exposure accurately, TDS-EXPOSURE has improved and adapted MCRA software for exposure and risk assessment. MCRA includes new functionality to address uncertainties in the TDS approach and estimate the impact of mitigation measures to be set by risk managers in case the exposure levels are exceeding acceptable daily intakes. Practical instructions on how to use MCRA in the perspective of a harmonised approach are provided. This will impact and facilitate future decision to be made by the Codex Alimentarius and the European risk managers based on TDS data. TDS-EXPOSURE has established a European TDS Network including specialists in the implementation of TDS methodology for countries currently without TDS. With 26 participants in 19 countries, including four countries outside the EU, TDS-EXPOSURE benefited from participation of teams managing national TDS as well as invited experts from WHO and FAO, which have provided TDS training for more than 20 years. Together with harmonisation of TDS methods, these outputs will enable better understanding of food safety determinants, improve food safety, and help set priorities in public health policies across Europe in the long term. It will also allow monitoring of trends and verification of subsequent behaviour. Similarly, for public health, the expected impact is better knowledge of contaminant exposure from the diet amongst populations and, as a consequence, improved protection of Europeans through regulations and other means. For EU Member States with TDS, benchmarking of exposure to food contaminants will focus efforts on the most important public health topics. For food/ agriculture producers, the European food industry, and food distribution and service sectors, the expected impacts are information about high priority food contaminants and foods contributing to population exposure, which will facilitate efficient allocation of chemical food safety budgets and better target risk management (e.g., Hazards Analysis of Critical Control Point). For consumer associations and non-governmental organisations, TDS-EXPOSURE has contributed to delivery of transparent public information on chemical food risks, helping to ensure only foods with a favourable risk assessment, measured using harmonised approaches, are available for consumption throughout the European Union, especially cross-border. For scientists, TDS-EXPOSURE tools and resources offer a unique opportunity to test hypotheses, and integrate results with food and health research. For instance, TDS-EXPOSURE food contamination data can be used in epidemiological studies whilst differences in exposure amongst countries can be used in epidemiological geographical studies. Economists can also use TDS-EXPOSURE outputs in cost benefit analysis because they provide information applicable to risk and benefit assessment. |
| Exploitation Route | TDS-Exposure outputs have contributed to the development of further initiatives, including the MetroFood research infrastructure, the Food Nutrition and Security Cloud project (Horizon 2020) and the Food, Nutrition and Health Research Infrastructure initiative, which will be submitted to ESFRI in 2020. In the FNS-Cloud project, TDS datasets and the MCRA tool will be further developed to create user services that will be tested via a Demonstrator. The immediate impact of TDS-Exposure has been the creation of an information system for TDS and exposure assessment software for food contaminants, which will be useful for risk assessors and risk managers, but also the dissemination of common methodology and quality tools. |

| PI Contribution | We contribute with proving harmonised UK food composition data to the European Food Data Platform with other European countries, which is hosted and maintained by EuroFIR, and expert knowledge to the various technical working groups. This provides greater exposure and access to our data across Europe and internationally especially for policy makers and regulators such as EFSA, DG SANTE, WHO and FAO INFOODS. |
| Collaborator Contribution | The EuroFIR partners covers other food database compiler organizations in Europe and internationally and we work to produce better harmonised data that can be sued to support food and nutrition research and policy, as well as meeting the needs of the food industry and SMEs. There are several technical working groups that member experts contribute to covering data standardization and interoperability, food description and thesauri, recipe calculations and branded foods. WE are also developing a common food composition database management system (FoodCASE) that is currently used by about 10 countries. |
