instead of a single reference point in the risk characterization for
inorganic arsenic intake (2).
The EFSA report stated that inorganic arsenic exposure from
food and water ranges from 0.13 to 0.56mg/kg body weight per day
for average consumers in 19 European countries (2). This estimated
dietary exposure is within the range of the proposed BMDL values,
indicating that the risk of toxicity cannot be excluded (2).
Regulation of maximum levels for heavy metals in foods for
infants and young children is generally lacking; in the EU, maximum
levels have been established only for lead in infant formula
and follow-on formula, and for inorganic tin in canned baby foods
and processed cereal–based foods for infants and young children
(17). At present, there is no upper limit for what constitutes a safe
inorganic arsenic intake in infants and children, even though they
may be more susceptible to toxic effects, with higher exposure
reported to be associated with increased infant morbidity and
mortality (8–10) and impaired development (18).
