(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2016-12-09)In June 2016,the Norwegian EnvironmentAgencyrequestedthe Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food Safety (VKM) to conducta literature reviewregardingdevelopment of bacterial resistance to biocides and heavy metals and cross-resistance to antimicrobial agents(e.g.,antibiotics)in bacteria, with the following mandate: <br><br>1.List chemical substancesthat may contribute to increased antimicrobial ... -
Antimicrobial resistance in wildlife – potential for dissemination: Opinion of the Panel on Microbial Ecology of the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food and Environment
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2018-03-16)<p>Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is recognised as one of the greatest public health concerns of our time. The development of AMR occurs in nature as a defence by microbes against naturally occurring antimicrobials. However, the selective pressure, generated by the use of antimicrobial agents in human and veterinary medicine, livestock and plant production as well as aquaculture practices, is the ... -

This assessment is based on the literature provided by the notifier as well as that found by a MEDLINE search. -
Assessment of risk of introduction of Echinococcus multilocularis to mainland Norway
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2012-02-15)In the light of the recent findings of the tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis (EM) in four red foxes from three different locations in Sweden, the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food Safety (Vitenskapskomiteen; VKM), Panel of Biological Hazards (Faggruppe hygiene og smittestoffer) took the initiative to undertake a risk assessment regarding the probability of this parasite being introduced to ... -
An assessment on potential long-term health effects caused by antibiotic resistance marker genes in genetically modified organisms based on antibiotic usage and resistance patterns in Norway.
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2005-11-25)Usage of antibiotics selects for resistant bacteria, resulting in reduced treatment options, and increased morbidity and mortality from microbial infections. Development of resistance in susceptible bacteria can occur through spontaneous mutation or horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Our current understanding of resistance development in bacterial pathogens is more descriptive ... -
CWD in Norway
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2016-06-30)The Norwegian Food Safety Authority (NFSA) and Norwegian Environmental Authority (NEA) asked the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food Safety (Vitenskapskomiteen for mattrygghet, VKM) for an opinion on factors associated with the introduction of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) to Norway. VKM appointed a working group consisting of two members of the Panel on Biological Hazards, one member of Panel ... -
Dekontaminering av pattedyrslakt ved bruk av damp eller varmt vann. Uttalelse fra Faggruppe for hygiene og smittestoffer i Vitenskapskomiteen for mattrygghet
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2010-04-15)Mattilsynet har gitt VKM i oppgave å foreta en risikovurdering når det gjelder ”dekontaminering av pattedyrslakt ved bruk av varmt vann eller damp”. Da det er en bestemtdekontamineringsteknologi Mattilsynet ønsker utredet, velger faggruppen å bruke den mer presise betegnelsen ”overflatepasteurisering av slakt” som er i tråd med uttrykk og definisjoner som forskere innenfor dette området har benyttet ... -
Genome editing in food and feed production – implications for risk assessment
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2021-10-29)The Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food and Environment (VKM) initiated this work to examine the extent to which organisms developed by genome-editing technologies pose new challenges in terms of risk assessment. This report considers whether the risk assessment guidance on genetically modified organisms, developed by the European Food Safety Authority ... -
Genome editing in food and feed production – implications for risk assessment. Opinion of the Steering Committee of the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food and Environment
(Forskningsrapport; Research report, 2021-10-29)I denne rapporten vurderer Vitenskapskomiteen for mat og miljø (VKM) utfordringer knyttet til helse- og miljørisikovurdering av genomredigerte organismer til mat- og fôrproduksjon. VKM har gått gjennom veiledningen for risikovurdering av genmodifiserte organismer (GMO) som Den europeiske myndighet for næringsmiddeltrygghet (EFSA) har utviklet, og vurdert om veiledningen også kan brukes til å ... -
Importation of roughage to Norway - Implications for plant and animal health, zoonoses, and biodiversity. Opinion of the scientific committee of the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food and Enviroment
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2022-02-18)Det er stor usikkerhet om import av grovfôr til Norge kan føre med seg planteskadegjørere, invaderende planter og smittestoff som kan forårsake sykdom hos dyr og mennesker. -
Kvalitetskrav for vann til jordvanning. Uttalelse fra Faggruppen for hygiene og smittestoffer i Vitenskapskomiteen for mattrygghet
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2014-05-07)Ved vanning av spiselige jordbruksvekster på friland i Norge brukes det overflatevann, grunnvann eller vann fra gravd brønn. Vannet kan være offentlig eller privat. Mikroorganismer og uønskede kjemiske stoffer i slikt vann kan forårsake sykdom, dersom dette benyttes til vanning av vegetabiler. For sykdomsfremkallende mikroorganismer gjelder dette spesielt ved vanning av vegetabiler som skal spises ... -
