Food flavourings, food additives and food contact materials exposure tool

QR code

The JRC's FACET exposure tool is a downloadable software to estimate consumers' exposure to food flavourings, food additives and substances that can migrate from food contact materials into food.

It contains databases of chemical concentrations for food flavourings and food additives, industry data on retail packaging composition, chemical occurrence data or their prediction, and food consumption diaries, which are then combined into probabilistic dietary exposure models.

  • FACET is a model, dynamic tool which was created in recent years and presented in its dedicated public conference in October 2012. The model is developed with the aim to estimate dietary exposure to flavourings, additives and food contact materials substances and compare the results with available safety limits.
