Answer:
The safety of our food is determined in part by the presence of chemicals, some of which may not be permitted in foods. RIVM National Institute for Public Health and the Environment contributes to chemical food safety by supporting governments with risk assessment, consultancy, methodology development and more.
Chemicals can end up in our food in various ways:
Some substances may be used during production, transport, or storage of food products. This includes pesticides, preservatives and colouring agents, veterinary drugs and substances in packaging materials.
Sometimes chemicals are used illegally in the food production process.
Some substances may occur naturally in the basic ingredients used in a food product, or in the food itself. Examples include heavy metals, such as lead and cadmium, which are present in the soil. Or mycotoxins, a group of toxins that are produced by fungi.
Some substances are produced during the course of food production or preparation. For instance, acrylamide is produced when baking starchy foods at high temperatures, while polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are released when cooking meat on a barbecue.
