Duplicaatvoedingsonderzoek bij kinderen 2014 : eerste resultaten

This report describes the consumption of children who participated in aduplicate diet study. Furthermore it provides additional information onthe collected duplicate diets, for example if a child had followed aspecific diet. Duplicate diet studies are conducted periodically since 1976in the Netherlands and provide the opportunity to monitor the quantitiesof certain substances people ingest daily over time (chemicals,mycotoxins). Moreover, it can be assessed if these quantities remainwithin the safety limits.This duplicate diet study was conducted during the spring and autumn of2014 by RIVM and RIKILT and was commissioned by the Dutch Food andConsumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA). Parents/ carers of 126children aged 2 to 6 years in the region of Wageningen participated inthe study. They collected duplicate portions (duplicate diet) of all foodsand beverages their child consumed over a 24-hour period. They alsokept food diaries to record what the child had consumed during the day.The duplicate diets were processed into freeze-dried samples and storedat RIKILT.The results of this study showed that for many children less duplicatediet was collected than what they probably consumed. This should betaken into account when interpreting the results of dietary exposure toharmful substances.
