    The Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources added to Food （ANS） provides a scientific opinion re-evaluating the safety of xanthan gum （E 415） as food additive. Following the conceptual framework for the risk assessment of certain food additives re-evaluated under Commission Regulation （EU） No 257/2010, the Panel considered that adequate exposure and toxicity data were available. based on the reported use levels, a refined exposure of up to 64 mg/kg bw per day in children for the general population, 38 mg/kg bw per day for children consumers only of food supplements at the high level exposure and 115 mg/kg bw per day for infants consuming foods for special medical purposes and special formulae （FSMPs）， were estimated.
