Abstract
The Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food Safety (Vitenskapskomiteen for mattrygghet, VKM) has,at the request of the Norwegian Food Safety Authority (Mattilsynet; NFSA), assessed the intake of iron in the Norwegian population in relation to tolerable upper intake levels (ULs). The existing maximum limit for iron in food supplements is 27 mg/day. VKM has also conducted scenario calculations to illustrate the consequences of amending the maximum limit to 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 mg/day.
