COT statement on arsenic in food: results of the 1999 total diet study

The Food Standards Agency has recently completed a Total Diet Study (TDS) of total and inorganic arsenic levels in food, which was carried out between 1999 and 2002. The Committee was asked to comment on the survey and assess if the levels of arsenic in the diet posed a risk to human health.
