据欧盟食品安全局(EFSA)消息,7月2日欧盟食品安全局就重新评估氧化聚乙烯蜡(oxidised polyethylene wax)作为食品添加剂的安全性发布意见。
欧盟批准氧化聚乙烯蜡按需用于部分水果表皮。欧盟专家组对氧化聚乙烯蜡作为食品添加剂进行了评估,然而由于毒理学数据与致癌性数据缺乏,尚不能得出ADI数值。
最后经过相应评估,专家组得出结论认为,尽管部分数据缺乏,在授权许可条件下,氧化聚乙烯按照报道的最大使用量用于食品无安全隐患。
部分原文报道如下:
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.
