Updated consumer risk assessment of fluoride in food and drinking water including the contribution from other sources of oral exposure

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract This updated risk assessment evaluated evidence on potential adverse health effects of fluoride related to all sources of oral exposure as mandated by the European Commission. Fluoride benefit assessment was not included. Effects on the central nervous system, thyroid and bone were prioritised.
