    EFSA training: The risk-benefit assessment framework

    Risk-benefit assessment (RBA) of foods is a decision-support tool that assesses the combined beneficial and adverse health effects of foods, diets or food components. It integrates knowledge on nutrition, toxicology, microbiology, and human epidemiology for comprehensive health impact assessments. RBA is thus useful to inform food safety policies or to provide dietary advice based on an integration of the available scientific knowledge. This e-learning provides an introduction to risk-benefit assessment of foods, with an emphasis on methods to quantify the human health impact of food intake.

    EFSA training: General course – uncertainty

    As part of EFSA’s commitment to transparency, identifying and characterizing uncertainties and explaining their implications for assessment conclusions is an important element of EFSA’s risk assessment process. The EFSA guidance on uncertainty analysis in scientific assessments brings more clarity on how it can be performed in a structured, transparent and unambiguous way. This online tutorial will enhance the understanding and enable the practical implementation of the guidance document on uncertainty analysis in scientific assessments.
