Within the European Union, food safety and consumer protection are topics of highest priority. The evaluation of the safety of contaminants and residues in food is usually based on the determination of the acceptable daily intake (ADI), which in turn is the basis for maximum residue levels (MRLs). As this procedure depends on animal testing, a safety factor of 100 is usually applied to provide a margin of safety. This paper discusses the occurrence of relevant contaminants (e.g. dioxins, acrylamide) and residues (e.g. antibiotics, antiparasitic agents) in food and provides a brief assessment of the risks resulting from the consumption of food containing these substances.
在欧盟内部，食品安全和消费者保护是最优先考虑的议题。对食品中污染物和残留物安全性的评估通常基于每日允许摄入量（ADI）的测定，而每日允许摄入量又是最大残留限量（MRL）的基础。由于这一程序依赖动物试验，通常会应用100的安全系数以提供安全边际。本文讨论了食品中相关污染物（如二恶英、丙烯酰胺）和残留物（如抗生素、抗寄生虫剂）的存在情况，并简要评估了食用含有这些物质的食品所产生的风险。
