National Food Agency

The use of food additives is restricted in all European countries by national order concerning food additives, only those antioxidants specially mentioned are allowed to be used. The antioxidants may only be used with the foods mentioned and in the amounts specified. The veterinary service and national food agencies or other national authorities have supervisory powers.

In the period 1984-1994, 1076 samples of various animal products including broilers, bovine liver, and swine liver and muscle, and 323 samples of fish including trout from sea and pond farming and salmon were analyzed for veterinary drug residues by the National Food Agency of Denmark (10). The animal products were monitored for residues of carbadox, olaquindox, benzimidazoles, levami-...

The stability of the solutions 1 and 2 was verified on the content of 10 bottles stored at 4°C in the dark over a period of 8 weeks at the National Food Agency. Analyses were performed by packed column gas chromatography followed by electron capture detection. Determinations were performed in 3 replicates on each of 3 bottles.

This research was pan. of the frame program Natural antioxidants from plants sponsored by the FOTEK-prograin Uirough National Food Agency and LMC-Centre for Advanced Food Studies. 

The preparation of the fish extracts and the verification of their homogeneity and stability were carried out by the Danish Isotope Centre and the National Food Agency (Soborg, Denmark). The aqueous solutions were prepared at the Kemforschungsanlage (Jiilich, Germany), whereas the mussel and tuna samples were prepared at the Environment Institute of the EC Joint Research Centre of Ispra (Italy). 

MeHg was verified by the National Food Agency (Denmark). Another batch of aqueous solutions as described under the first intercomparison was prepared by the KFA and sent to the participants. The preparation of the samples was the following. 

Therefore, the Danish National Food Agency in 1994 took the initiative to re-evaluate the need for an iodine enrichment program in Denmark (Rasmussen et aL, 1996). 

A working group was established including representatives of the National Food Agency and the National Board of... 

The intake of iodized salt by this program was estimated to be around 4g/day, and the iodization level was set to 13 ppm. Bread is a staple food in Denmark, and simulation studies performed by the Danish National Food Agency based on Danish food surveys had shown that iodized salt in bread, in combination with iodized table salt, would distribute the iodine nearly as evenly in the population as iodization of all salt used by the food industry. 

Bottled waters are alternatives to drinking water from the tap. The term bottled water is a generic term that describes all water sold in containers. The consumption of bottled water has risen phenomenally over the past years and the bottled water industry has grown to accommodate the demand [47]. Bottled waters are classified as a food material. They are monitored by the national food agencies and some international institutions. Many countries require the manufacturer to indicate the source of the water and the date of production on the label. The International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) also inspects its members annually to check for compliance to the IBWA standards. In the United States, bottled waters are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and state governments.
