据外媒报道,欧盟食品安全局日前就硅烷化二氧化硅用于食品接触材料的安全性评估发表科学意见。欧盟10/2011条例要求所有的纳米材料需要有特定的批准程序。
欧盟于1999年批准硅烷化二氧化硅用于塑料类食品接触材料。
专家组得出结论认为,在现在的批准使用条件下,该物质不会对消费者的安全造成危害。
部分原文报道如下:
Silicon dioxide, silanated, has been authorised for use as an additive in all types of plastics as part of a re -evaluation, according to a European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) panel.
A scientific opinion w as reques ted as the substance has alw ays been produced on the basis of synthetic amorphous silicon dioxide in nanoform.
EU Plastics Regulation 10/2011 requires that all materials in nanoform used for food contact materials must be specifically approved.
Silicon dioxide, silanated w as authorised in 1999 to be used as an additive for the manufacture of plastic food contact materials.
