(a)
The 95th percentile estimates obtained from dietary surveys and population groups with fewer than 60 subjects may not be statistically robust (EFSA, 2011) and consequently are not considered in this table.
(b)
Minimum and maximum mean and 95th percentile estimates across European surveys, for each population group.
