食品伙伴網訊  2019年10月30日，歐盟食品安全局（EFSA）發(fā)布硫酸及其鈉鹽、鉀鹽、鈣鹽和銨鹽（E 513、514 （i）、514 （ii）、515 （i）、515 （ii）、516和517）作為食品添加劑安全性的評估結果。

 

　　歐盟食品添加劑和調味劑小組（FAF）提供了重新評估磷酸鹽作為食品添加劑安全性的科學意見。經過評估，專家小組認為硫酸（E 513）、硫酸鈉（E 514）、硫酸鉀（E 515）、硫酸鈣（E 516）和硫酸銨（E 517）作為食品添加劑在規(guī)定的用途和使用水平上不存在安全性問題，也不需要數(shù)字上的每日容許攝入量。

　　The Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings （FAF） provided a scientific opinion re‐evaluating the safety of sulphuric acid （E 513） and its sodium （E 514）， potassium （E 515）， calcium （E 516） and ammonium （E 517） salts when used as a food additive. The Panel considered that adequate exposure and toxicity data were available. Sulphuric acid and its sodium, potassium, calcium and ammonium salts （E 513, E 514, E 515, E 516, E 517） are authorised food additives in the EU, in accordance with Annex II and Annex III to Regulation （EC） No 1333/2008. In the refined estimated exposure non brand‐loyal scenario, mean exposure ranged from 0.4 mg sulphate/kg body weight （bw） per day in infants to 35 mg sulphate/kg bw per day in toddlers. The high percentile of exposure ranged from 3 mg sulphate/kg bw per day in adolescents to 68 mg sulphate/kg bw per day in toddlers. The Panel considered sulphates of low acute toxicity and there is no concern with respect to genotoxicity and carcinogenicity. The Panel noted that the exposure to sulphates at mean and 95th percentile in the non brand‐loyal scenario as well as in the other scenarios, is far below the 300 mg/kg a dose that induced laxative effect in humans. based on the toxicological database available, the Panel concluded that the exposure to sulphuric acid （E 513）， sodium sulphate （E 514）， potassium sulphates （E 515）， calcium sulphate （E 516） and ammonium sulphate （E 517） does not raise a safety concern at the reported uses and use levels and there is no need for a numerical acceptable daily intake （ADI）。
