title: [Importance of the evaluation of food consumption in the risk of exceeding the permissible daily doses for poisons potentially contained in food].
abstract: The Codex Alimentarius in its General Principles committee proposes the definitions of risk assessment and risk management linked to ingestion of food additives and food contaminants. Moreover, three European directives imply for all member states an evaluation of food additives intakes by general population and by possible "at risk groups of consumers". This work is conducted in the general case of European Scientific Cooperation and is coordinated by United-Kingdom. This paper describes the French approach, using a step-by-step procedure to evaluate food additives consumption. It emphasizes the importance of scientific works in this field of research to obtain french datas about french consumptions.
