In This Update:
EPA Updates Dietary Exposure Analysis Model

EPA has updated the Dietary Exposure Evaluation Model-Food Commodity Intake Database (DEEM-FCID)/Calendex to include more recent food consumption data. New online applications will also make it easier for the public to access and interpret the data. DEEM-FCID/Calendex is a dietary exposure analysis model for performing chronic and acute exposure assessments. DEEM-FCID/Calendex can be used to estimate dietary intake of toxicants, nutrients, pesticides, food additives and natural constituents – in other words, for any component of food or water. The software also allows for estimation of exposures for each eating occasion rather than considering the entire day’s food and drink intake at once. This allows EPA to make more refined risk assessments where appropriate.

This updated version will be used for regulatory purposes to conduct dietary risk assessments for estimating exposure and establishing pesticide tolerances (maximum residue levels). This version contains more recent food commodity consumption data derived from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey/”What We Eat in America” (NHANES/WWEIA) for 2005-2010 (http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nhanes.htm<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTQxMDAxLjM2NTg1ODQxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE0MTAwMS4zNjU4NTg0MSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3MjIwODM2JmVtYWlsaWQ9c3dhcnR6LmNocmlzdGluYUBlcGEuZ292JnVzZXJpZD1zd2FydHouY2hyaXN0aW5hQGVwYS5nb3YmZmw9JmV4dHJhPU11bHRpdmFyaWF0ZUlkPSYmJg==&&&101&&&http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nhanes.htm>). It replaces the 2003-2008 NHANES/WWEIA data used in the prior version (DEEM-FCID/Calendex v. 3.18/9.14) of the software.

Those wishing to access the consumption, recipe and associated demographic data files used as the basis of FCID can do so on the University of Maryland’s Joint Institute for Food Safety and Nutrition (JIFSAN) website (http://fcid.foodrisk.org/<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTQxMDAxLjM2NTg1ODQxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE0MTAwMS4zNjU4NTg0MSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3MjIwODM2JmVtYWlsaWQ9c3dhcnR6LmNocmlzdGluYUBlcGEuZ292JnVzZXJpZD1zd2FydHouY2hyaXN0aW5hQGVwYS5nb3YmZmw9JmV4dHJhPU11bHRpdmFyaWF0ZUlkPSYmJg==&&&102&&&http://fcid.foodrisk.org/>). JIFSAN has updated the database to include the 2005-2010 raw data, and has several online applications that make it easier for the public to access and interpret the data, including a consumption calculator that simplifies routine food and food commodity consumption queries.

To accommodate additional internal and external testing as well as transition within EPA’s regulatory process, both this version (DEEM-FCID/Calendex v. 4.02/10.00) and the previous version (DEEM-FCID/Calendex v. 3.18/9.14) will be operable until March 31, 2015.

The DEEM-FCID/Calendex software can be found and downloaded at http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/science/deem/<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTQxMDAxLjM2NTg1ODQxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE0MTAwMS4zNjU4NTg0MSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3MjIwODM2JmVtYWlsaWQ9c3dhcnR6LmNocmlzdGluYUBlcGEuZ292JnVzZXJpZD1zd2FydHouY2hyaXN0aW5hQGVwYS5nb3YmZmw9JmV4dHJhPU11bHRpdmFyaWF0ZUlkPSYmJg==&&&103&&&http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/science/deem/>.
