Scientific evaluations require data analysis. There are some tools that facilitate processing of information.

Risk asesssment tools:

Rapid Assessment of Contaminant Exposure (RACE)

The EFSA RACE tool provides estimates of different population groups’ acute and chronic exposure to chemical contaminants from foods and compares the result to the health-based guidance value or other relevant toxicological reference points.

Pesticide Residue Intake Model (PRIMo)

The EFSA’s PRIMo tool estimates dietary exposure to residues of plant protection products in foods. Additional information can be found in the Residues of plant protection products section of the website.

Food Enzyme Intake Model (FEIM)

The EFSA’s FEIM tool estimates chronic dietary exposure to food enzymes used in food processes.

Food Additives Intake Model (FAIM)

The EFSA’s FAIM tool estimates chronic dietary exposure to food additives.

ImproRisk model of the State General Laboratory of Cyprus

ImproRisk is a model that estimates chronic dietary exposure to chemical substances.

MicroHibro model of the University of Córdoba

The MicroHibro model is a prediction tool for microbial behavior in foods.

BIKE model of the Finnish Food Authority of Finland

The BIKE model estimates chronic and acute dietary exposure to chemical and microbiological hazards, respectively.
