Considerando que o consumo de pescado é uma fonte importante de exposição ao metilmercúrio, a Comissão Europeia recomendou aos Estados- -membros que estabelecessem recomendações para o seu consumo. Assim, tendo sido criado um grupo de trabalho, é objetivo deste artigo apresentar o trabalho desenvolvido para a elaboração das recomendações de consumo de pescado adaptadas à população portuguesa, tendo em conta o p...
Um grupo de trabalho promovido pela Direção Geral da Alimentação e Veterinária (DGAV) e que integrou a Autoridade de Segurança Alimentar e Económica (ASAE), a Faculdade de Ciências da Nutrição e Alimentação da Universidade do Porto (FCNAUP), o Instituto Nacional de Saúde Doutor Ricardo Jorge (INSA), o Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera (IPMA) e o Instituto de Saúde Pública da Universidade do Porto (ISPUP...
Cereal-based foods, including breakfast (BC) and infant cereals (IC), are among the first solid foods introduced to infants. BC and IC are sources of macro and micronutrients that have bene ficial effects on health, but can also be sources of harmful chemical and microbiological contaminants and nutrients that may lead to adverse health effects at high consumption levels. This study was performed under the Risk...

Portugal has high fish/seafood consumption, which may have both risks and benefits. This study aims to quantify the net health impact of hypothetical scenarios of fish/seafood consumption in the Portuguese population using a risk-benefit assessment methodology. Consumption data from the National Food, Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey 2015-2016 (n 5811) were used to estimate the mean exposure to methylmerc...
De uma forma geral, o consumo de alimentos pode apresentar potenciais riscos e benefícios para os consumidores. Os alimentos à base de cereais, incluindo os cereais de pequeno-almoço e os cereais infantis, representam componentes importantes da dieta humana e estão entre os primeiros alimentos sólidos que são introduzidos na dieta. Estes alimentos constituem uma fonte importante de vários nutrientes, incluindo ...
Foodstuffs, as cereal-based products, may present both potential risks and benefits to consumers. Cereal-based foods including breakfast and infant cereals, represent important components of human diets and are also among the first solid foods that young children usually eat. From the risk components, cereals are one of the most frequent foodstuffs contaminated by mycotoxins. Aflatoxins, a frequent mycotoxin fo...
The occurrence of mycotoxins in nuts, including the most potent carcinogenic aflatoxins (AFTs), has been reported by several authors worldwide. Notwithstanding, nut consumption plays an important role in the Mediterranean diet due to their nutrient contents and the consequent potential to produce beneficial health effects, as the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. The present study aimed to quantify the hea...
