Consumer, consumption Vegetarian

United Kingdom food consumption data for vegetarians and vegans showed that for high-level consumers of almonds, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts and pistachios, enforcing an ML of 20 pg/kg reduces total dietary AFT exposure when compared with no ML. Setting a lower ML would have little impact compared with the ML of 20 pg/kg. The dietary exposure from tree nuts assuming no ML was estimated to be 5.8 ng/kg bw per day. The estimate with an ML of 20 pg/kg would be 0.5 ng/kg bw per day and with an ML of 4 pg/kg would be 0.2 ng/kg bw per day.
