The One Health concept is a holistic approach to improving and sustainably

protecting human, animal and environmental health. It recognises that

human, animal and environmental health are closely linked. In this course, we present policy drivers for implementing the

One Health approach, such as the legal framework and guidelines in

Switzerland, and the EU, particularly in the areas of food safety, …

At its meeting of 1–5 June 2026, the Risk Assessment Committee (RAC) of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) concluded that trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) should be classified as Reproductive Toxicity Category 1B (H360Df). This means that TFA may damage the unborn child and may impair fertility. RAC also supported the classification of TFA as a PMT substance (Persistent, Mobile and Toxic) and as vPvM…

EFSA supports risk assessment approaches which minimise and refine the use of experimental animals (in-vivo testing) and that promote use of data derived from alternative approaches, where possible. These alternatives include lab tests in tubes, flasks, petri dishes, etc. (in vitro) or performed via computer simulation (in silico).
