According to a 2009 analysis published in PubMed, national authorities assessed the tolerable daily intake (TDI) for melamine following safety concerns. The TDI is a crucial tool in toxicology for quantifying the amount of a contaminant a person can ingest daily over a lifetime without significant health risk.

According to scientific bodies like the WHO, the tolerable daily intake (TDI) is the daily intake of a substance that poses no appreciable risk to health over a lifetime. Calculating this value is a core part of risk assessment, helping to determine safe exposure limits for chemical contaminants found in food and water.
