Contribution submitted by Matthew Walker for the Public consultation on the draft risk assessment of glycoalkaloids in feed and food, in particular in potatoes and potato-derived products

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) carried out a public consultation, from 27 February 2020 until 15 April 2020, to receive input from interested parties – organizations or private citizens - on a draft scientific opinion on the risks for animal and human health related to the presence of glycoalkaloids in feed and food, in particular in potatoes and potato-derived products. The draft scientific opinion was prepared by the EFSA Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain (CONTAM Panel), supported by the Working Group on Glycoalkaloids in feed and food. EFSA used the EU survey tool to receive comments on the draft scientific opinion, and the way these comments were considered for the finalisation of the opinion is described in the Technical Report available at: https://efsa.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.2903/sp.efsa.2020.EN-1905. Some contributors also attached files to the comments submitted via the EU survey tool. For transparency reasons these files are made available in the public domain as Zenodo uploads.
