欧盟食品安全局发布食用色素喹啉黄暴露评估报告

       据欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，应欧委会要求，3月25日欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）发布了食用色素喹啉黄暴露评估报告。

    专家组对三种情况进行了评估，分别是最大允许限量基础上的暴露估算、品牌忠诚暴露情形、非品牌忠诚暴露情形。 结果发现，在三种情形下，喹啉黄的平均和高水平暴露评估值均低于所有人群的ADI值。

    The European Food Safety Authority （EFSA） carried out an exposure assessment of Quinoline Yellow （E 104）， taking into account additional information on its use in foods. In 2009, the EFSA Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources added to Food （ANS） adopted a scientific opinion on the re-evaluation of Quinoline Yellow （E 104） and concluded that, at the maximum usage levels, refined intake estimates were generally well above the Acceptable Daily Intake （ADI） of 0.5 mg/kg body weight （bw）/day. Annex II to Regulation （EC） No 1333/2008 was amended by the European Commission as regards the conditions of use such that Maximum Permitted Levels （MPLs）， when not withdrawn （n = 14）， were decreased by a factor of 1.1 to 50, depending on the food category, applicable from 1 June 2013 onwards. Following this, the European Commission requested EFSA to perform a refined exposure assessment for this food colour.
