Webinar: tolerable upper intake levels for vitamins & essential minerals

Background

In 2021, the European Commission asked EFSA to review the evidence regarding the safety of selected vitamins and essential minerals and update existing tolerable upper intake levels (ULs). This mandate also provided an opportunity to revisit the scientific framework applied for the risk assessment of nutrients and reflect on recent methodological developments. As a result, eight scientific opinions (vitamin B6, folate, vitamin A including β-carotene, vitamin D, vitamin E, manganese, iron, and selenium) and one guidance document have been published. This extensive work was finalised in September 2024.

Objectives of the meeting

The objective of this webinar was to share the results and conclusions of the scientific review conducted by EFSA. The event provided stakeholders with insights on the principles and methods applied for the evaluations and summarised the conclusions reached on each of the micronutrients that were recently evaluated.

To be aligned with participants’ interests, the content of the webinar was tailored to address relevant questions and clarification requests submitted through the registration form.
