食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊  近日，據(jù)歐盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，歐盟食品添加劑和調(diào)味劑（FAF）小組被要求評(píng)估阿拉伯膠（acacia gum（E 414））作為16周以下嬰兒食品添加劑的安全性，并解決該添加劑在用于普通人群食品中已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)的問題。

 

　　據(jù)了解，評(píng)估包括的嬰兒食品屬于食品類別13.1.1（嬰兒配方奶粉）和13.1.5.1（特殊醫(yī)療用途嬰兒膳食食品和特殊嬰兒配方奶粉）。部分原文報(bào)道如下：

 

　　EFSA is re‐evaluating the safety of food additives already permitted in the unio before 20 January 2009 and issuing scientific opinions on their safety in line with Regulation （EC） No 1333/2008. Acacia gum （E 414） was re‐evaluated in 2017 by the former EFSA Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient sources added to Food （ANS）。 As follow‐up to this assessment, the Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings （FAF） was requested to assess the safety of acacia gum （E 414） as carry‐over in food for infants below 16 weeks of age belonging to food categories 13.1.1 （Infant formulae） and 13.1.5.1 （Dietary foods for infants for special medical purposes and special formulae for infants） and to address the issues already identified during the re‐evaluation of the food additive when used in food for the general population. The process involved the publication of a call for data to allow the interested parties to provide the requested information to complete the risk assessment. based on the analytical data submitted in response to this call, the Panel recommended to lower the limits in the specifications for toxic elements and identified the need for further specifications for aluminium, microbiological criteria and protein residues.
