欧盟就2,5-呋喃二甲酸用于食品接触材料的安全性发布意见

      据欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，欧盟食品安全局就2,5-呋喃二甲酸用于食品接触材料的安全性评估发布意见。

    经过对老鼠90天的经口毒性评估，得出了无明显损害作用水平NOAEL为300 mg FDCA/kg bw/day。

    欧盟专家组认为，2,5-呋喃二甲酸在人体不会产生积累风险。当2,5-呋喃二甲酸用于生产聚乙烯呋喃酸酯聚合物（ PEF ）的单体时，物质本身迁移到食品中的量不超过 5 mg/kg，低于1000Da低聚物迁移到食品中的量不超过 50 μg/kg，对消费者不构成威胁。

    部分原文报道如下：

    This scientific opinion of the EFSA Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids deals with the safety assessment of the substance furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid （FDCA） with CAS No 3238-40-2 and FCM substance No 01031, for use as a monomer with ethylene glycol to produce polyethylene furanoate polyesters.

    The substance does not raise concern for accumulation in man. The Panel concluded that the substance furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid does not raise a safety concern for the consumer when used as a monomer in the production of polyethylene furanoate polymers （PEF） and the migration of the substance itself does not exceed 5 mg/kg food and migration of the oligomers less than 1000 Da does not exceed 50 ?g/kg food （expressed as FDCA）。
