For example, the federal institutions are involved during the development of risk reduction strategies (RRS). The Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) and the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) may also be involved in chemical risk management processes.

European authorities have raised concern over the cou-marin content of cassia (BfR 2006 EFSA 2008). In the 1980s, coumarin was suspected to have genotoxic and carcinogenic effects, although more recent evidence suggests that coumarin is not genotoxic (Lake 1999 Sproll et al. 2008). As of 2008, the European Food Safety Authority indicated that the appropriate total daily intake (TDI) level of coumarin in foods was 0.1 mg/kg, and that intake of three times this amount for 1 to 2 weeks posed no concerns (EFSA 2008). The German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR)...

Several scientific institutions have derived TDIs from toxicological end points by applying an uncertainty factor. The Scientific Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain (CONTAM) established a TDI for PFOS of 150 and for PFOA of 1.5 pg/kg bwt/day (EFSA 2008). The UK Committee on Toxicity of Chemicals in Food, Consumer Products and the Environment (COT) proposed a TDI for PFOS and PFOA of, respectively, 300 and 3,000 ng/kg bwt/day (COT 2006a,b). Furthermore, the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment proposed a TDI of 100 ng/kg bwt/day for both PFOS and PFOA (BfR 2006).
