Development of the Food Additive Intake Model (FAIM) version 3.0.0 to estimate chronic dietary exposure to food additives AUTORIDAD EUROPEA DE SEGURIDAD ALIMENTARIA: SUBVENCIONES/NOTICIAS/ADQUISCIONES

In the specific contract No. 13 issued under the framework agreement OC/EFSA/MESE/2023/03, EFSA requested Open Analytics to upgrade the Food Additives Intake Model (FAIM). FAIM estimates chronic dietary exposure to food additives, including new additives or new uses of authorized ones, based on latest available food consumption and chemical occurrence data as of June 2025. This new version of FAIM 3.0.0 is implemented as web application hosted in R4EU. It implements the core calculation algorithm and introduces two new scenarios: one limited to exposed consumers only, and another to consumers of selected food categories. Users can input data manually or by uploading a pre‐filled template. Results are displayed interactively and can be exported as Excel or HTML reports. Input datasets can be saved and re‐uploaded to repeat or continue previously started analyses.
