食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)歐盟食品安全局(EFSA)消息,5月13日歐盟食品安全局就交聯(lián)聚丙烯酸鈉用于食品接觸材料的安全性發(fā)布意見。
歐盟專家組經(jīng)過評估認(rèn)為,如果交聯(lián)聚丙烯酸鈉并不直接接觸食品,而僅僅作為吸液墊的吸液成分用于肉、禽、蔬果等食品包裝材料,并且在吸收能力許可范圍內(nèi)的情況下,交聯(lián)聚丙烯酸鈉并不會遷移,因此食用包材內(nèi)的食品是安全的。
部分原文報道如下:
This scientific opinion of the EFSA Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids (CEF Panel) deals with the safety assessment of the polyacrylic acid, sodium salt, cross-linked, food contact material (FCM) substance No 1015, which is intended to be used as a liquid absorber in the packaging of fresh or frozen foods, such as meat, poultry, seafood, fruits and vegetables. Specific migration tests were not performed due to the high absorption of liquids by the substance. The Panel noted that if polyacrylic acid, sodium salt, cross-linked, is not in direct contact with the food but is placed in a pad and used under conditions wher its absorption capacity is not exceeded, then no migration is to be expected and therefore no exposure from the consumption of the packed food is expected.
