Abstract:

The procedures for risk assessment of micronutrients are described based on recent researches and the difference between the methods for risk assessment of micronutrients and for traditional generic risk assessment is also analyzed in this article. In order to further perfect the method of risk assessment for micronutrients and provide scientific basis for the adjustment of enhancement strategy of food nutrition and the revision of related regulations and standards, models for determination of acceptable intake range of micronutrients and disability-adjusted life-years methods are introduced to tradeoff between risk and benefit based on the latest research development in this field.

Key words: micronutrient, risk assessment
