RSSL's Toxicology in Food Services

 

Our toxicology and risk assessment services combine desk-based research and In Silico methodologies to provide comprehensive food product safety and compliance solutions. Whilst we do not offer in vitro or in vivo toxicology testing in-house, we collaborate with trusted partners to facilitate these studies as needed. 

 

Our expert team have a proven track record in toxicology evaluations across diverse product categories including ingredients, additives, enzymes, flavourings, novel ingredients, contact materials and contaminants. Our industry-leading analytical capabilities, extensive market knowledge, and integrated technical services provide comprehensive support to meet all your food safety and toxicology requirements. We can support you with:

 

  • Initial batch review screening of compounds to prioritise safety evaluations using Weight of Evidence (WoE) and Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) modelling.

 

  • Prediction of toxicological effects through In Silico modelling and read-across techniques to fill data gaps when direct data is lacking.

 

  • Hazard evaluation assessments, supported by literature reviews and QSAR modelling, to support product development and sensory testing.

 

  • Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) analyses to determine safe exposure levels, including Derived No-Effect Levels (DNELs), through comprehensive literature reviews and data gap analyses.

 

  • Assessments for impurities, contaminants, and food contact materials (FCMs) to ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations.

 

  • Creation of toxicology profiles and literature reviews which can include data gap analysis and creation of experimental testing plans

 

  • Evaluation of the suitability of materials for specific applications, such as device materials, factory materials, packaging materials, food contact materials, and 3D printing.

 

  • Support with Novel food and regulatory applications including preparation and submission of regulatory dossiers and reports.
