An expert panel works to consolidate the current state of the art in dietary microplastics analysis. It will provide suggestions to further develop the methods towards a harmonised analytical methodology. The aim is to also address relevant health concerns associated with the effects of dietary micro-plastics on consumer health. Thus, the panel will:
• Support the harmonisation of approaches and methods to assess microplastics in food through
research and validation recommendations.
• Review existing data (incl. data transfer and interpretation of other particle research fields)
to support the health risk assessment of microplastic particles.
• Support standardizing organisations in approaches to stimulate comparative research on microplastics.
