G. The achievements of the risk assessment for the year 2015


H. The achievements of TDS activities for the year 2015

The TDS is an activity carried out for the purpose of estimating the level of exposure to chemical residues and contaminants through diet or food intake. The exposure level will be compared with the reference health standard established at the international level to identify risk exposure among Malaysian population against chemical residues or contaminants. In addition, TDS can also identify patterns of exposure to certain contaminants through diet taken by people in Malaysia from time to time and to identify foods or groups of foods that could potentially lead to the risk of exposure and recommending risk management or risk communication that should be taken.

TDS involves purchasing (at retail level) foods commonly consumed by the population, preparing them as for normal consumption before analyzing the foods for the chemicals of interest. A national TDS project involving all states in Malaysia is conducted biannually.
