EFSA Compendium of botanicals that have been reported to contain toxic, addictive, psychotropic or other substances of concern

Abstract

This Compendium is the result of an EFSA Scientific Cooperation (ESCO) work undertaken by a group of experts identified both by EFSA and Advisory Forum Representatives of the European Member States. During this one-year activity, these experts built up on previous versions of the Compendium, considering information available from a number of existing lists of plants (see Compendium – Sources of Information sheet), and from the scientific literature to fill information in the Compendium. The search for information from the literature ended on 10 March 2009.
