(a)
Default and average body weights for each population group are available in EFSA Scientific committee (2012).
(b)
Intake in ‘mg/kg bw per day’ is calculated by considering the use levels in ‘mg/day’ and default body weights defined in EFSA Scientific Committee (2012).
(c)
Referred as ‘toddlers’ in the EFSA food consumption comprehensive database (EFSA, 2011).
