Food Chemical Safety Science at IAFNS

The IAFNS Food Chemical Safety Committee mobilizes members from government, industry and academia to drive, fund and lead actionable science in support of public health.

Improving Food Safety

Through its tripartite model—bringing together scientists from government, academia, and industry—the Food Chemical Safety Committee funds external researchers and convenes experts to enhance the safety of our global food supply.

Focus Areas include:

  • Heavy Metals and Toxic Elements
  • Nanoplastics and Microplastics
  • Food Allergens
  • Evidence-Based Risk Assessment
  • New Approach Methods (NAMs)

Chemicals and Food Safety

The Food Chemical Safety Committee promotes a science-based assessment of the safety of foods and food ingredients to support public health.

For example, our work advances strategies for mitigating the presence of heavy metals in food and agricultural soils.

We fund and promote novel, exposure-focused risk assessment methods that leverage validated new approaches and scientific paradigms.

New Approach Methodologies (NAMs)

FDA is launching a new program: Engaging NAMs for Toxicant REgulation and Effects (ENTREE) which is intended to help stakeholders develop and validate alternative method to be endorsed for regulatory use by FDA in advance for a specific use. NAMs include high-throughput non-animal tests along with new in vitro, in silico and powerful computer modeling tools. As a first step, IAFNS’ research will facilitate the use of NAMS starting with identifying classes of food substances that have cited NAMs data to support a regulatory approval. This includes a review of FDA GRAS findings, as well as those of the European Food Safety Authority.
