6th International Workshop on Total Diet Studies: Global Developments in TDS

(2022.10.10 - 2022.10.11)

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) are planning the 6th International Workshop on Total Diet Studies (TDS) in Berlin on 10 and 11 October 2022.


With our diet, we ingest many substances every day which can either be beneficial or potentially harmful. The chronic exposure to some of these substances can lead to health concerns. The identification of critical compounds in our food and the determination of their levels can be conducted by means of Total Diet Studies (TDS). By combining levels of substances in foods with food consumption data, the dietary exposure of populations and associated risks can be assessed. Policy makers may consider these risks to make informed decisions in order to protect the safety of our food.


Several workshops on TDS were carried out in the past. From the first workshop in Kansas City (1999) to the most recent in Seoul (2015), significant progress was made in this field. Over the years, methods were optimised, knowledge was gained, and an exchange between TDS-supporting countries was achieved. Furthermore, more and more low and middle income countries either initiated or showed interest in conducting a TDS.


In order to continue sharing expertise and to promote and support implementation of TDS, the 6th International TDS Workshop is cosponsored by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) in Berlin.


During two days of conference, representatives of numerous TDS supporting countries will present their results and recent developments by oral and poster presentations. The aim of the event is to give a review of ongoing TDS and to provide a place for exchanging expertise. The workshop will take place at the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) in Berlin. The workshop is offered as hybrid event and the participation is possible virtually online or on-site in Berlin.


The conference language is English.


The event could be followed via livestream. The records of the livestreams can be found here:
