Risk-benefit assessment of foods
There is a growing need for risk-benefit assessments of foods, or components thereof, which may have health-threatening as well as health-promoting properties. The process of determining negative (risk) and positive (benefit) aspects consists of several steps. In collaboration with RIVM, the Office for Risk Assessment has designed a decision tree that describes the four steps and indicates when choices must be made in consultation with the risk manager.

In collaboration with RIVM, the Office for Risk Assessment has designed a decision tree that describes the four steps and indicates when choices must be made in consultation with the risk manager. The four steps are: identification of negative and positive effects, estimation of exposure, characterisation of risk and benefit and integration of risk and benefit in a common measure. The introduction of specific ‘stops’ in the decision tree is innovative and indicates that it is not always necessary to carry out a full risk-benefit assessment. In this way, choices can be made in a transparent way. An example illustrates the use of the decision tree ; NL; en; vwaefsafocalpoint@vwa.nl
