16 Mar 2016 --- The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has published the results of a Total Diet Study carried out to assess the dietary exposure of the Irish population to a number of chemicals that may pose a risk to health if consumed in excessive amounts. The study, which analysed the most commonly consumed foods in Ireland for particular chemical contaminants, is an important tool for identifying and assessing potential food safety risks to consumers. It complements existing food monitoring and surveillance programmes carried out by the FSAI and other competent bodies.
