The presence of natural toxins, pesticide residues, and illegal additives in foodstuffs has been associated with a range of potential health hazards. However, no systematic database exists based on the comprehensive inclusion and integration of all research information collected on these compounds in the past few decades. Valuable data is scattered across dozens of databases and vast amounts of literature. Through natural language processing technology, we curated 12,018 food risk components from 152,737 literature reports, 12 authoritative databases, and related regulatory documents. The molecular structures, physicochemical properties, chemical taxonomy, absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity properties, and their targets within the human body were integrated to afford the most comprehensive food risk components database (FRCD). We also provide tools for analysis the chemotaxonomy and molecular scaffold of the food risk components.
