5.18 SPECIAL FOODS

    The special food ingestion pathway requires definition of the rate at which the food is ingested. Because there are no assumption related to the type of food being consumed, it is not appropriate to provide default values for the special food ingestion pathway. The user must provide a positive value when this pathway is used. Default values for the exposure parameters (exposure duration, body weight, and averaging time) are as described in Section 5.2.
