Capturing the diversity of consumption patterns: challenges in risk assessment

Traditionally exposure assessment is conducted according to the EFSA EU Menu guidelines. The disadvantage of this methodology is the resource demanding and potentially missing food trends that could pose a food safety risk. New technologies such as retailers fidelity cards, automated food image recognition and social media could be used as alternatives to collate information about ongoing food trends and the identification of population groups at risk. Nevertheless, these new technologies are as well confronted with some barriers and further research in the context of standardization and validation is needed.
