自2007年以来，欧空局食物链污染物小组(CONTAM小组)就各种海洋生物毒素，包括新出现的毒素，准备了一系列意见，以评估欧洲联盟(欧盟)目前对人类健康的限制和欧盟立法中确定的分析方法。为了保护高消费者免受海洋生物毒素的严重影响，CONTAM小组确定400克贝肉是在欧洲消费的用于风险评估的大份量的适当估计。这一份量随后被应用于所有关于海洋生物毒素的科学观点。最近，EFSA收到了来自比利时、法国、葡萄牙和西班牙的关于贝类消费份额大小的新数据。此外，还向欧洲食品安全局提交了新的消费数据，以便纳入欧洲食品消费综合数据库(综合数据库)。根据对提供给欧空局的新数据的评估和欧空局综合数据库中的信息，CONTAM小组得出的结论是，早先确定的400克贝肉消费量估计数字对于保护高消费者免受海洋生物毒素的急性影响是适当的。
The EFSA Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain (CONTAM Panel) has prepared a series of opinions since 2007 on various marine biotoxins, including emerging toxins, to assess the current European Union (EU) limits with regard to human health and methods of analysis as established in the EU legislation. In order to protect high consumers against acute effects of marine biotoxins, the CONTAM Panel identified 400 g of shellfish meat as an appropriate estimate of a large portion size consumed in Europe to be used in the risk assessments. This portion size was then applied to all the scientific opinions on marine biotoxins. Recently EFSA has received new data from Belgium, France, Portugal and Spain on the shellfish portion sizes consumed. In addition, new consumption data have been submitted to EFSA for inclusion in the Comprehensive European food consumption database (Comprehensive Database). Based on the assessment of the new data provided to EFSA and the information included in the EFSA Comprehensive Database, the CONTAM Panel concluded that the earlier established estimate of the consumption figure of 400 g shellfish meat is appropriate for protecting high consumers against acute effects of marine biotoxins.
