a

Resulting from the combined intake of calcidiol (25‐hydroxycholecalciferol) from the NF (5 or 10 μg/day) and from the background diet according to the refined calculation of the FEEDAP Panel (2.44 μg/day) (EFSA, 2009).

b

Resulting from the Combined intake of calcidiol from the NF and foods from animal origin by using the factor of 5 between calcidiol and vitamin D set by the FEEDAP Panel (EFSA, 2005).

c

Intake of vitamin D from foods in the background diet in high consumers, P95th intake for adults and adolescents, P90th for children (according to surveys) (EFSA NDA Panel, 2012).

d

Resulting from the sum of the theoretical combined vitamin D intake (as calcidiol) from the NF + background diet and the highest intake of vitamin D from foods in the background diet (EFSA NDA Panel, 2012).
