2018年12月13日，欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）发布了d-核糖的安全性声明。
2018年，欧盟食品安全局NDA小组根据第2015 / 2283号法规发表了关于d -核糖作为一种新型食品在用于多种食品时安全性的科学意见，结论是d -核糖在每天高达36毫克/千克体重（ bw ）的摄入水平下对普通人群是安全的，但其在申请人提议的预期用途和使用水平下的安全性无确定。应欧盟委员会的请求，欧盟食品安全局NDA小组通过考虑申请人提交的新的拟议用途和使用水平对d -核糖进行了补充安全评估。经过评估，专家小组得出结论，在新的拟议使用条件下，新型食品d -核糖是安全的。

In 2018, the EFSA NDA Panel adopted the Scientific Opinion on the safety of d‐ribose as a novel food pursuant to Regulation （EU） 2015/2283 when used in a variety of food, concluding that d‐ribose is safe for the general population at intake levels up to 36 mg/kg body weight （bw） per day, but that its safety at the intended uses and use levels as proposed by the applicant could not be established. Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA NDA Panel was asked to carry out a supplementary safety assessment for d‐ribose by considering the new proposed uses and use levels submitted by the applicant. In order to address the present mandate, an intake assessment was carried out based on individual data from the EFSA Comprehensive European Food Consumption Database. Intakes were estimated for all age groups of the general population. The resulting ranges for the mean and high‐level estimated intakes of d‐ribose for all the population groups, including the target population groups, did not exceed the acceptable level of intake for the general population previously defined, i.e. 36 mg/kg bw per day, except for one survey on adolescents wher the mean and 95th percentile of the intake estimates were 8.6 and 39.4 mg/kg bw per day, respectively. The Panel concludes that the novel food, d‐ribose, is safe under the new proposed conditions of use.
