歐盟食品添加劑和營養(yǎng)小組(ANS)進行評估認為,在毒理學數(shù)據(jù)與暴露數(shù)據(jù)的基礎之上,黃原膠(E 415)作為食品添加劑對普通人群是安全的,不會對人體健康構成影響,無需制定每日允許攝入量(ADI)。然而對黃原膠的再次評估不適用于12周以下的嬰兒。

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.
