EU Food Authority Lowers Safe Level for Chemical in Food
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has significantly lowered the tolerable daily intake level for trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), a substance that can be present in food and drinking water from the breakdown of certain pesticides. The decision is based on new scientific evidence regarding potential health risks. This updated scientific opinion from EFSA provides the basis for the European Commission and Member States to review and potentially tighten regulations on the chemicals that produce TFA. The goal is to enhance consumer protection across the European Union.
Your food and water may soon be subject to stricter safety limits for the chemical TFA.
