(12 Dezember 2013 ) Annual report of the EFSA Scientific Network of Risk Assessment of Nanotechnologies in Food and Feed for 2013

The network agreed on recommendations regarding genotoxicity tests, as resulting from the EU project Nanogenotox. The Network also reached agreements regarding the adequacy of in vitro test methods for food and feed (oral exposure) and the relevance of developing GI tract tests for in vitro digestibility.
Furthermore, the final results from the EU project NanoLyse for the detection and analysis of nanomaterials in food matrices were presented to the Network.
The Network also finalised its list with contact details of national laboratories that have equipment and know-how for analysing certain nanomaterials in complex matrices.
