In toxicology, the main concern is applied in establishing food safety rather than on studying the toxic effects. Important considerations in relation to toxicology of food include natural food components, food contaminants and food additives. Rapid growth in using new food additives has increased the need to find new high-throughput testing approaches for chemical toxicity in food safety. Currently, toxicology is observing patterned shift in evaluation of chemical hazards in food safety.
