Overview
Tenders were invited to undertake a research project to identify suitable biomarkers of priority (groups of) Chemical Contaminants (Lot 1) and Food Additives (Lot 2), Metals (Lot 3) and develop and validate analytical chemistry methods for their quantitative measurement in human urine. In addition, an approach for estimating systemic exposure and theoretical dietary intake of each chemical of interest, from measured urinary excretion of the biomarker(s), should be derived. The FSA requested that methods and approaches are determined, and proven for feasibility, for substances from the following food additive and other chemical contaminant groups, below or up to the estimated budget of £100,000 (exc. VAT) Lot 1 and £50,000 (exc VAT) each for lot 2 and 3. The substance groups have been prioritised in accordance with the FSA’s food safety remit and specific priorities. All documents and communication for FSA funded projects were submitted through the health-family single e-Commercial System (Atamis), using the following link: https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome
