Estimate of the amount of a substance in food or drinking water, expressed on a body mass basis (usually mg/kg body weight), which can be ingested daily over a lifetime by humans without appreciable health risk. For calculation of the daily intake per person, a standard body mass of 60 kg is used. The acceptable daily intake is normally used for fo [..]

Estimate by JECFA of the amount of a food additive, expressed on a body weight basis, that can be ingested daily over a lifetime without appreciable health risk. Note 1: For calculation of ADI, a stan [..]

Quantity of a food additive that can be ingested daily, over a lifetime, without any risk (expressed in milligrams additive per kilogram body weight).

This is an estimate of the amount of substance in the food that can be ingested daily over a lifetime by humans without appreciable health risk. The concept of the ADI has been developed principally b [..]

The acceptable daily intake of a chemical is the daily intake which, during an entire life time, appears to be without appreciable risk to the health of the consumer on the basis of all the known fact [..]

Estimate of the largest amount of chemical to which a person can be exposed on a daily basisthat is not anticipated to result in adverse effects (usually expressed in mg/kg/day). Same as RfD.

is the highest daily amount of a substance that may be consumed over a lifetime without adverse effects.

is the chemical ingestion level determined by combining the maximum No-Observed-Adverse-Effect-Level (NOAEL) with the addition of an uncertainty (safety) factor. Chemicals with ADI levels usually are not considered or suspected to be carcinogens. This classification results from toxicity data collected during prolonged ingestion studies conducted o [..]

<pharmacology> This is an estimate of the amount of a substance in food that can be ingested daily over a lifetime by humans without appreciable health risk. The concept of the acceptable daily intake has been developed principally by who and FAO and is relevant to chemicals such as additives to foods, residues of pesticides and veterinary dr [..]

The amount of chemical that, if ingested daily over a lifetime, appears to be without adverse effect.
