Safety evaluation of certain food additives

Food additive
Specifications
a
Acceptable daily intake (ADI) and other
toxicological recommendations
available products, data on the resin acid
composition obtained with updated
chromatographic techniques and additional
information on methods that enable the
identification of the individual glycerol esters of
rosins and their differentiation. The Committee
also requested information on the identity of the
sulfur compounds in the commercial product.
This information should be submitted by the
end of 2010.
Lycopene from all
sources
The Committee decided to revise the group
ADI established at the sixty-seventh meeting
and replace it with a group ADI “not specified”
for lycopene from all sources when used as
food colour. Hence, the previous group ADI of
0–0.5 mg/kg bw for lycopene has been
withdrawn.
The group ADI “not specified” applies to
synthetic lycopene, lycopene derived from the
fungus Blakeslea trispora and lycopene extract
from tomato that comply with the
specifications, when used in accordance with
Good Manufacturing Practice.
Lycopene extract from
tomato
N
The Committee established a group ADI “not
specified” for synthetic lycopene, lycopene
derived from the fungus Blakeslea trispora and
lycopene extract from tomato, when used as
food colour, that comply with the specifications,
and when used in accordance with Good
Manufacturing Practice.
Mineral oil (low and
medium viscosity) class
II and class III
The Committee was informed that finalization
of the requested studies has been delayed.
The Committee decided to further extend the
temporary group ADI, but noted that the
temporary group ADI will be withdrawn at the
end of 2011 if the data are not submitted by that
time.
Octenyl succinic acid
(OSA) modified gum
arabic
N
The Committee decided to allocate a
temporary ADI “not specified” for OSA modified
gum arabic used in the applications specified
and in accordance with Good Manufacturing
Practice. The ADI is temporary pending
submission of data by the end of 2011 showing
hydrolysis of OSA modified gum arabic to
confirm the validity of using gum arabic data in
the evaluation of OSA modified gum arabic.
Sodium hydrogen
sulfate
R
The Committee allocated an ADI “not
specified” for sodium hydrogen sulfate, in line
with the principles established for ionizable
