FACET (Flavourings, Additives, and food Contact materials Exposure Tool), is a model developed by the FACET project with the aim to estimate dietary exposure to flavourings, additives and food contact materials substances and to compare the results with available safety limits. The tool should allow reducing significantly the uncertainty in the level of dietary exposure to additives and flavouring substances in the EU population. The tool is completed by a database containing information on concentrations of food additives and food flavourings, potential migrants in food contact materials and food consumption data.
