Consumers are regularly exposed to well-known food contaminants (FCs), which are typically assessed for risk on an individual basis. However, there is limited knowledge about the overall levels and combinations of these compounds depending on dietary choices. The goal of this study was to estimate the real-life mixtures of FCs in different dietary models by integrating extensive data from the scientific literature concerning the reliable quantification of FCs in foods. A FAIR database detailing the occurrence of 73 FCs in 16 foods commonly consumed was built. The data were integrated into an omnivorous and a vegetarian dietary model. A weighted estimate of the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles of FCs in both dietary models revealed that the omnivorous model presented slightly higher levels of FCs than the vegetarian. At the 25th percentile, the FC levels in both dietary models fall within the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) reference exposure levels for chemical hazards, except for arsenic, lead, cadmium, fumonisin B1, and OTA. At the 75th percentile, the FC levels exceed the EFSA reference levels for those FCs and additional mycotoxins. Using in vitro models, the 25th percentile can mimic real-life FC exposure, while the 75th percentile simulates a possible worst-case scenario. Full article

The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of fairness concern (FC) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) on the quality improvement of the agricultural product supply chain (APSC) composed of an agricultural product processor (processor) and an agricultural product supermarket (supermarket) so as to ensure the stable supply of high-quality agricultural products. This paper considered both FC and CSR, established four Stackelberg game models, and obtained the effects of FC and CSR on bilateral quality efforts in APSC through comparative analysis and numerical analysis. We prove that the supermarket’s FC can take the role of “profit distribution mechanism”, but it is not conducive to improving all bilateral quality efforts, the utility of the whole supply chain system, and consumer surplus. Additionally, APSC members sharing CSR can not only both improve the quality of agricultural products and promote the expansion of market demand, but they also can improve both the profit of all members and the supply chain. The CSR shared by both members has a greater impact on bilateral quality efforts than the supermarket’s FC, and thus the positive effect of CSR can overcome the negative effect of the supermarket’s FC.
