(2005) Safety assessment of food-contact paper and board using a battery of short-term toxicity tests European Union BIOSAFEPAPER project. Food Additives and Contaminants 22 1032-1041. 

In order to answer those needs specified above, a collaborative effort (BIOSAFEPAPER) was undertaken in the fifth EU framework programme. In this project, coordinated by the University of Kuopio, Finland, nine European research institutes and 16 industrial partners aimed at establishing a test battery with relevant toxicological endpoints and allowing a decision-tree approach to ensure consumer safety. An important aspect of the undertaking was also the development of extraction procedures compatible with the tests and reflecting real-life conditions. 

Europe, Barcelona 11/17/2004 -11/19/2004), and a description of the results obtained by the mid-term evaluation of the project was given in the special issue of the journal Food Additives and Contaminants dedicated to the proceedings of the symposium (Severin et al, 2005). More detailed information on the project and its progress can be seen on the project homepage (http //www.uku.fi/biosafepaper/).
