Total intake of the NF resulting from the uses of the NF as an ingredient and as a food supplement
| Population group | Age (years) | Body weight( a ) (kg) | Highest( b ) P95 intake from the NF used as an ingredient (mg/kg bw per day) | Intake from the NF used as a food supplement (mg/kg bw per day)( c ) | Total intake( d ) (mg/kg bw per day) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Infants | < 1 | 5 | 889 | 0 | 889 |
| Toddlers | 1 to < 3 | 12 | 1,089 | 0 | 1,089 |
| Other children | 3 to < 10 | 23.1 | 997 | 0 | 997 |
| Adolescents | 10 to < 18 | 43.4 or 61.3 | 700 | 0 | 700 |
| Adults | ≥ 18 | 70 | 508( e ) | 57 | 565 |
Default and average body weights are defined in EFSA Scientific committee (2012).
Intakes are assessed for all EU dietary surveys available in the food comprehensive database. The highest P95 intake observed among all surveys is reported in this column (P95 intake calculated based on less than 60 individuals is not considered).
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).
Total intake is the sum of the intake from NF ingredient use (highest P95 intake) and from the NF used as a food supplement, for each population group.
Intakes are assessed separately for adults [18–65 years], elderly [65–75 years] and very elderly (≥ 75 years); the maximum intake among these three subpopulations is reported here.
