Perchlorate is a naturally occurring and manmade chemical. Naturally occurring perchlorate, for example, is found in arid states in southwestern United States (U.S), as well as in nitrate fertilizer deposits in Chile and potash ore found in U.S. and Canada. Perchlorate can also form naturally in the atmosphere, leading to trace levels of perchlorate in precipitation. Perchlorate is also an industrial chemical that is used as an oxidising agent in rocket propellant, in fireworks and flares, and for other purposes. It has been detected in a variety of foods and in drinking water from some locations in the U.S.
Human exposure to sufficient doses of perchlorate can interfere with iodide uptake into the thyroid gland, disrupting its functions and potentially leading to a reduction in the production of thyroid hormones. Sustained inhibition of iodide uptake can lead to hypothyroidism, which can lead to metabolic problems in adults and abnormal development in utero and in infancy
To assess the potential risk of perchlorate, FDA must first conduct surveys to better understand the occurrence and levels of perchlorate in a variety of foods from various locations. The levels of perchlorate found in the foods analyzed will also be used to better understand perchlorate exposure from food and to support action, if warranted, to protect the public health. The data presented below are results from analysis of composite food samples from FDA's Total Diet Study (TDS). FDA also surveyed individual food product samples for perchlorate; the individual food product data are available at 2004-2005 Exploratory Survey Data on Perchlorate in Food.
The TDS is FDA's ongoing market basket survey in which approximately 280 core foods (TDS foods) in the U.S. food supply are collected and analyzed to determine levels of various contaminants and nutrients in those foods. Four market baskets are generally collected each year, one in each of four geographic regions of the U.S. (i.e., West, North Central, South, and Northeast). For each market basket, samples of each TDS food are collected from grocery stores and fast food restaurants in three cities within the region, prepared table-ready, and composited for analysis. Therefore, each data point for a contaminant or a nutrient represents the analytical result for a composite of three samples of the TDS food. For more information on the TDS, see Total Diet Study.
FDA analyzed selected TDS foods from each market basket in FY05 and FY06 to determine the occurrence of perchlorate in a wide variety of products in the U.S. food supply. These results indicate perchlorate levels in a composite of three samples of each table-ready TDS food. An exposure assessment entitled, "U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Total Diet Study: Dietary Intake of Perchlorate and Iodine," based on these perchlorate results has been posted on the Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental Epidemiology. The estimated lower bound to upper bound average perchlorate intakes by the 14 age-sex groups range from 0.08 to 0.39 micrograms per kilogram body weight per day (µg/kg bw/day), compared with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Reference Dose (RfD) of 0.7 µg/kg bw/day. The RfD is an estimate (with uncertainty spanning perhaps an order of magnitude) of a daily oral exposure to the human population (including sensitive subgroups) that is likely to be without an appreciable risk of deleterious effects over a lifetime.
Note that due to the limited number of samples of each food, the results in the table below do not address unit-to-unit or lot-to-lot variation in perchlorate levels in foods nor should the data be used by consumers to determine food choices. Additional TDS samples will be analyzed in 2008 in order to expand this data set.
