Acceptable daily intake (ADI) represents the amount of a specific food additive in food or water that can be ingested daily over a lifetime without health risks for the consumers. Thus, ADI values are useful references for controlling both the quality and safety of food products.
ADI values are calculated from toxicological values such as LOAEL (Lowest Observed Adverse Effect Level) or NOAEL (No Observed Adverse Effect Level) and appliying several adjustment factors.
