O balanço entre os riscos e benefícios para a saúde resultante do consumo
de alimentos é um importante contributo para apoiar a definição de
políticas de saúde e a promoção da literacia dos consumidores. No âmbito
do projeto RiskBenefit4EU, financiado pela European Food Safety Authority
e coordenado pelo Departamento de Alimentação e Nutrição do Instituto
Nacional de Saúde Doutor Ricardo Jorge, o presente trabalho pretende
descrever a estratégia implementada para a capacitação das equipas portuguesas
em avaliação de risco-benefício de alimentos (RBA). Concretizada
pelos parceiros do Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique e da
Technical University of Denmark, a capacitação consiste em três atividades
principais: 1) Formação teórica, focando os conceitos-chave para a
avaliação de RBA; 2) Formação prática, aplicando os conceitos adquiridos
e as metodologias transmitidas a um estudo de caso; e 3) Missões científicas,
de curta duração, para formação avançada em domínios específicos
da avaliação de RBA. No que diz respeito à formação prática, e com o objetivo
de consolidar os conhecimentos adquiridos em avaliação de RBA,
está previsto o desenvolvimento de um estudo de caso português sobre
alimentos à base de cereais habitualmente consumidos por crianças. A
estratégia de capacitação seguida neste projeto servirá de modelo para
outras equipas e países, contribuindo para a disseminação de uma cultura
de avaliação de RBA nas vertentes toxicológica, microbiológica e nutricional
a nível internacional.
The balance of risks and health benefits from food consumption constitutes a crucial topic to consumer literacy and health policy-makers. Through the RiskBenefit4EU project, funded by the European Food Safety Authority, and coordinated by the Food and Nutrition Department of Portuguese National Institute of Health Dr. Ricardo Jorge, the present work intends to identify the applied strategy to capacitate the Portuguese teams for the development and implementation of risk-benefit assessment (RBA) in food. The training of the Portuguese team is being accomplished by the French National Institute for Agricultural Research and the Technical University of Denmark members, through three main capacity building activities: 1) Theoretical training, focusing on the key concepts for RBA; 2) Practical training, applying the concepts acquired and the methodologies transmitted to a concrete case study; and 3) Short-term scientific missions for advanced training in specific areas of RBA. In order to complete the training of the Portuguese teams and consolidate the knowledge acquired in RBA, a Portuguese case study on cereal-based foods usually consumed by children is planned. The training strategy followed in this project will contribute as a model of capacity building for disseminating a culture of risk-benefit assessment in the toxicological, microbiological and nutritional aspects at the international level.
