e amounts. However, EFSA stressed that these findings incorporate a high safety margin by over-estimating human exposure to pesticide residues.
Following on from last years pilot exercise, EFSA again carried out an indicative acute risk assessment that considers the potential effects of combined exposure to multiple residues present on individual food samples. The methodology used by EFSA classifies pesticides into cumulative assessment groups based on their similar toxicological properties. Fo
