International peer review of our dietary modelling practices
International peer review of our dietary modelling practices (May 2014) In 2006-07 we reviewed our dietary exposure assessment principles, modelling procedures and supporting systems to ensure we continue to produce robust dietary exposure assessments, using international best practice approaches. The review was initiated under the FSANZ science Strategy for 2006-2009, which aimed to enhance our scientific capabilities. In agreeing to the strategy, the FSANZ Board also agreed to four key priorities for maintaining and further enhancing scientific capability in 2006-2007. This included commissioning an external review of FSANZ's scientific capability and performance, focusing initially on FSANZ's dietary exposure assessment capability. Consequently, in 2006 FSANZ engaged international…
