  • Following the request from the European Commission (EC), the Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources added to Food (ANS) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion re-evaluating the safety of polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate (polysorbate 20, E 432), polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate (polysorbate 80, E 433), polyoxyethylene sorbitan monopalmitate (polysorbate 40, E 434), polyoxyethylene sorbitan monostearate (polysorbate 60, E 435) and polyoxyethylene sorbitan tristearate (polysorbate 65, E 436) used as food additives. Polysorbates (E 432–E 436) are authorised as food additives in the European Union (EU).
    The Scientific Committee on Food (SCF) allocated a group Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) of 10 mg/kg bw/day for polysorbates 20, 40, 60, 65 and 80 (SCF, 1985). The basis was a No Observed Effect Level (NOEL) equivalent to 1 460 mg/kg bw/day in the diet in the 90-day study in rats with polyoxyethylene sorbitan monostearate (polysorbate 60) (BIBRA, 1981; cited in SCF, 1985).……

    • 甘油(e422)在2017年由前欧洲食品安全局食品添加剂和食品中添加的营养来源小组(ANS)重新评估。作为该评估的后续,在本意见中,食品添加剂和调味品委员会(FAF)解决了确定的数据空白,以支持委员会法规(EU) No 231/2012中对e422的欧盟规范的修订。专家小组对e422中的不良杂质进行了风险评估。专家小组的结论是,欧盟规范中对四种有毒元素(砷、铅、汞和镉)的最大限制应根据商业食品添加剂e422的实际含量降低。小组建议在e422规范中设置丙烯醛的数值限值。根据e422规范的规定,自由3 -一氯丙二醇的最高限值为0.1毫克/公斤,其潜在接触不会引起健康问题。专员小组建议考虑修改委员会法规(EU) No 231/2012中e422的定义,说明e422只能从植物油和脂肪中获得,并经过包括蒸馏和其他清理步骤在内的提纯过程,以获得精制甘油。总之,小组的结论是,所提供的技术数据支持对甘油规格进行修订(E 422)。

    • The EFSA ANS Panel delivered a scientific opinion re-evaluating the safety of oxidised polyethylene wax (OPEW) (E 914) as a food additive. E 914 is authorised at quantum satis only for the surface treatment of some fruits. The Scientific Committee on Food (SCF) evaluated the use of OPEW as a food additive but could not allocate an ADI and as an additive in food contact materials. The EFSA Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids (CEF) evaluated OPEW as a food contact material and established a TDI of 1 mg/kg bw/day. The ANS Panel considered that OPEW—an oxidised form of long-chain acids, alcohols and esters with a low epoxide and peroxide content—is stable in food matrices. Various 90-day studies in rats and a 90-day study in dogs reported no evidence of accumulation. In one rat study, at the highest dose, statistically significant increases in serum glucose and serum alkaline phosphatase and fatty livers were observed without other abnormalities. The lowest no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) was considered 800 mg/kg bw/day. OPEW is not genotoxic. Owing to the lack of chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity studies, the limitations of the reprotoxicity study and the unavailability of the key 90-day study, the Panel considered that the overall toxicity database was insufficient to derive an ADI. Mean intake estimates of OPEW ranged from 0.001—0.03 mg/kg bw/day and high intake estimates ranged from 0.03—0.18 mg/kg bw/day across all population groups. Considering the NOAEL of 800 mg/kg bw/day, the calculated margin of safety (MoS) at the highest intake level of 0.18 mg/kg bw/day was 4 400. The Panel concluded that the exposure estimates of E 914 from its use at the maximum reported use level resulted in a sufficient MoS and that, despite the limitations in the database, E 914 is of no safety concern at the maximum reported use level in its currently authorised use.
