Abbreviations: bw, body weight; HRP, highest reliable percentile.

^*The HRP calculated for the population categories defined by the defined by the EFSA FEEDAP Panel Guidance (EFSA FEEDAP Panel, 2017b) are used for the corresponding categories defined by the NDA Panel (e.g. the HRP for infants < 12 months is used for the categories of infants 4–6 months and infants 7–11 months as defined by the NDA Panel).

^**Contribution as percentage to the UL for the different population categories, as defined by the EFSA FEEDAP Panel Guidance (EFSA FEEDAP Panel, 2017b), was calculated applying the following formula: (maximum HRP × bw/UL) × 100.
