Towards an adequate intake of vitamin A

Regulations and research undergo rapid development

European legislation, regulations and research in the field of vitamins, minerals and trace elements, known as micronutrients, undergo rapid development. That is why the Minister for Health, Welfare and Sport has asked the Health Council of the Netherlands for advice in connection with a review of policy in this area.
The aim of the policy is to ensure that as many people as possible consume adequate quantities of micronutrients, while at the same time, minimising the risk that people exceed the safe upper level of intake. In this advisory report, a specially appointed committee indicates what is necessary in the case of vitamin A.
