    Following a request from the European Commission to the European Food Safety Authority （EFSA），EFSA's Scientific Committee （SC） prepared a guidance for the risk assessment of substances present in food intended for infants below 16 weeks of age. In its approach to develop this guidance, the EFSA SC took into account, among others, （i） an exposure assessment based on infant formula as the only source of nutrition; （ii） knowledge of organ development in human infants, including the development of the gut, metabolic and excretory capacities, the brain and brain barriers, the immune  system, the endocrine and reproductive systems; （iii） the overall toxicological profile of the substance identified through the standard toxicological tests, including critical effects; （iv） the relevance for the human infant of the neonatal experimental animal models used.
