食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)歐盟食品安全局(EFSA)消息,1月13日歐盟食品安全局就氧化鎢用于食品接觸材料的安全性發(fā)布意見(jiàn)。
氧化鎢添加劑的平均氧化水平為2.86,對(duì)應(yīng)的氧含量為19.93%。
歐盟食品安全局分別開(kāi)展了遷移測(cè)試以及遺傳毒性評(píng)估。歐盟食品安全局認(rèn)為,按照最大使用量75 mg/kg,將氧化鎢作為再熱劑用于PET不存在安全問(wèn)題。然而用作其他功能或用于其他聚合物時(shí),遷移量不應(yīng)超過(guò)50 μg/kg(以鎢計(jì))。
部分原文報(bào)道如下:
This scientific opinion of EFSA Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids (CEF Panel) deals with the risk assessment of the additive tungsten oxide, CAS No 39318-18-8 and FCM No 1064, for use in food contact materials as a reheat agent in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) at a maximum use level of 75 ppm (75 mg/kg PET)。 The substance is a mixture of tungsten oxides with tungsten at different oxidative levels. The average oxidation level of tungsten in the oxides is 2.86 corresponding to 19.93% oxygen content. Detailed information on impurities is provided as confidential. Specific migration from PET plaques with the substance at 150 mg/kg (double the maximum intended use level of 75 mg/kg) was determined into 95% ethanol, as a worst-case simulant for PET due to its swelling effect. Under these test conditions, the specific migration, measured as tungsten using ICP-MS, was at the level of 1 μg/kg.
