Abstract(s)

Chemical contaminants (Chc) can be naturally present and/or be introduced in food and feed as result of the various stages of its production, processing and transport and/or due to environmental contamination. The analysis of Chc laboratory data allows to generate information for continuous improvement of food safety and protection of public health. In order to define priorities for development of the Contaminants Database of the Portuguese Food Information Resource (PortFIR), it was decided to identify and assess the availability and information needs on food and feed Chc of the main Portuguese stakeholders in the area.
