Error in Table
In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Table 2. Citrinin exposure assessment based on biomarker results as a range of probable daily intakes (PDI) and expressed as a percentage of the provisional tolerable daily intake (pTDI), as published. The original Table 2 is as follows:
Table 2.
Citrinin exposure assessment based on biomarker results as range of probable daily intakes (PDI) and expressed as percentage of the provisional tolerable daily intake (pTDI).
Table 2.
Citrinin exposure assessment based on biomarker results as range of probable daily intakes (PDI) and expressed as percentage of the provisional tolerable daily intake (pTDI).
| Study Group | Probable Daily Intakes (ng per kg Body Weight) | Percentage of the pTDI (i.e., 200 ng/kg bw *) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PDImin | PDImedian | PDImax | pTDImin | pTDImedian | pTDImax | |
| Entire group | 2 | 30 | 461 | 1 | 15 | 231 |
| Adults (n = 138) | 2 | 13 | 214 | 1 | 6.5 | 107 |
| Children (n = 179) | 3 | 214 | 461 | 1.5 | 25 | 231 |
* The level of no concern for nephrotoxicity set by EFSA [4].
The value under column of PDImedian and the row of Children (n = 179) should be corrected. The corrected number should be 50 instead of 214. The corrected Table 2 appears below. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. The original publication has also been updated.
