Risk Assessment of Furan Exposure in the Norwegian Population

This risk assessment examines dietary exposure to furan, a carcinogenic compound formed in heat-treated foods. VKM’s analysis highlights coffee as a significant source of furan exposure for adults, while jarred baby food contributes notably to infants’ exposure. MOE (Margin of Exposure) calculations indicate a potential health concern, especially for high consumers, and VKM emphasizes the need for careful risk management.
