Abstract(s)
A recolha de dados precisos, fiáveis e comparáveis sobre géneros alimentícios
e alimentos para animais é essencial para monitorizar a sua segurança
e para apoiar avaliações e gestão informadas da exposição alimentar e
dos riscos associados ao seu consumo, contribuindo para uma maior segurança
e saúde dos consumidores. Na Europa, a Autoridade Europeia para a
Segurança dos Alimentos (EFSA) tem disponibilizado vários sistemas, ferramentas
e procedimentos técnicos, nomeadamente o Standard Sample Description
for Food and Feed (SSD2), o FoodEx2 e as Excel Reporting Tools,
para garantir que, na medida do possível, os dados que recebe são atualizados,
normalizados e comparáveis em todos os Estados-membros. O Instituto
Nacional de Saúde Doutor Ricardo Jorge (INSA) é a entidade nacional
responsável por recolher, harmonizar e submeter eletronicamente à EFSA,
de acordo com os seus requisitos de reporte, a informação sobre contaminantes
de géneros alimentícios e de alimentos para animais e sobre aditivos
alimentares, provenientes dos planos de controlo oficiais portugueses e de
estudos realizados em laboratórios do INSA.
Neste âmbito, pretende-se apresentar o processo de recolha e de transmissão
de dados à EFSA e os principais resultados durante o período 2017-
-2023 (amostras colhidas entre 2016 e 2022).
Entre 2017 e 2023, foram recolhidos, harmonizados de acordo com o formato
SSD2 e transmitidos à EFSA 64076 resultados analíticos, quase inteiramente
de contaminantes (62167). Estes resultados correspondem a
12438 amostras de géneros alimentícios e de alimentos para animais recolhidas.
De todos os resultados reportados avaliados (60134), apenas 0,2%
(131) estavam não conformes (cerca de 6,3% (3942) foram classificados
como “não avaliados” porque correspondiam a resultados de estudos do
INSA). Neste período, foram reportados dados de contaminantes químicos
em alimentos para animais somente em 2023.
A utilização do modelo e sistema de dados SSD2 e FoodEx2 e de todas as
outras ferramentas disponibilizadas pela EFSA garantem a harmonização,
padronização, qualidade, consistência e fiabilidade geral dos dados reportados.
Durante o período em análise, registou-se um elevado nível de conformidade
(99,8%) nos resultados das amostras colhidas no âmbito dos
planos de controlo oficiais portugueses.
The col lection of accurate, reliable and comparable data on food and feed is essential to monitor their safety and to suppor t informed dietary exposure and risk assessments and management, contr ibuting to higher consumer safety and heal th. In Europe, the European Food Safety Author i ty (EFSA) has made avai lable several systems, tools and technical procedures, namely the Standard Sample Descr iption for Food and Feed (SSD2), the FoodEx2 and the Excel Repor ting Tools, to ensure that, as far as possible, the data it receives is up-to-date, standardized and comparable across al l Member States.

In this contex t, we aim to present the process of data collection and t ransmission to EFSA and the main resul ts dur ing the period 2017-2023 (samples col lected between 2016 and 2022). Between 2017 and 2023, 64076 analytical results were gathered, harmonized accordingly to SSD2 and transmitted to EFSA, almost ent i rely on contaminants (62167). These results correspond to 12438 food and feed samples col lected. Of all the repor ted resul ts evaluated (60134), only 0.2% (131) were non-compliant (around 6.3% (3942) were classified as “not evaluated” because they corresponded to INSA studies results). In this period, animal feed contaminants data were repor ted just in 2023. The use of the SSD2 and FoodEx2 data model and system, and all other tools made available by EFSA, ensure data harmonisation, standardisation, and overall quality, consistency, and reliability in the information repor ted. During the period under review, there was a high level of compliance (99.8%) in the results of samples collected under the Por tuguese of ficial control plans.
