The overall objective of this procurement is to update and further develop EFSA’s Compendium of Botanicals as an open source tool for EFSA, stakeholders and the risk assessment community as a whole. This requires data on chemical composition and toxicity for around 900 plants to be collated, and to characterise the toxicity of 2 500 chemical substances. For the 2 500 chemical substances there is a requirement to collate information on toxicity and genotoxicity reference points. In both cases this information should be extracted from literature (including Grey literature) or published datasets. This will require the use of a standardised and reproducible procedure to find and appraise the available evidence.
