Which market this reads
What this check reads: European Union. No other market is covered.
Reads EU SCHEER 2026 Memorandum, EFSA OpenFoodTox 3.0, and EFSA QSAR rules. US FDA and UK FSA registers are not read.
What it does
Evaluates study quality, SCHEER 2026 WoE, QSAR acceptance, and Qualichem confidence levels against EFSA OpenFoodTox 3.0.
Ask it like this
youEvaluate Weight of Evidence for Bisphenol A with 4 studies (3 high quality, 3 consistent) and test QSAR acceptance for Carbendazim with TEST score 0.52.
