étude ciblée; enquête ciblée : La désignation «étude ciblée» ne possède pas le même sens que la désignation «enquête ciblée» : alors que l'étude peut être entamée avant ou après qu'un signalement à l'Agence est effectué, l'enquête est généralement déclenchée en réponse à un évènement ou un signalement. Comme on cherche à désigner un type d'examen effectué sur des aliments ou des dangers pour lesquels un signalement n'a souvent pas été fait, l'emploi du terme «étude ciblée» est recommandé. 3, record 1, French, - %C3%A9tude%20cibl%C3%A9e
