04 Jul 2024 --- The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has released its second opinion on arsenic in food, after the European Commission (EC) asked it to provide four scientific opinions on the food contaminant, considering the toxic effects of inorganic and organic arsenic. The scientific opinion is based on newly available scientific information since 2009, when the EFSA Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain (CONTAM Panel) assessed the risks to human health related to the presence of arsenic in food.
