Risk assessment is the basis for economic, political and health-related decisions, including the determination of acceptable risk limits for consumers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Risk assessment is a fundamental element of European food law and is used, inter alia, to establish appropriate precautions, educate consumers and food producers, ensure that the necessary research is carried out and support official controls, with the aim of ensuring food quality, safety and hygiene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mat\u00eds and Matv\u00e6lastofnun have a good collaboration with BfR in Germany, which is one of
