VERA a new read-across tool
October 11, 2023SILIFOOD a new tool to collect regulatory and hazard data of single organic substances in Food Contact Materials.
The SILIFOOD application has been developed to collect regulatory and hazard data for non-evaluated substances present in Food Contact Materials (FCM). The application combines existing toxicological data with (quantitative) structure-activity relationship ((Q)SAR) predictions, and can be used to support a fast risk assessment. This version of the SILIFOOD application has been developed specifically to support the assessment of non-evaluated single organic (non-)intentionally added FCM substances. The development of the tool was funded by the Belgian government (RF21/6349 SILIFOOD project).
SILIFOOD tool was developed by Sciensano in collaboration with Kode Chemoinformatics and Istituto Di richerche Farmavcologiche Mario Negri
