欧盟EFSA对奶粉中存在芳香烃矿物油的健康风险进行快速评估

　　  2019年11月18日，欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）发布消息，应欧盟委员会要求，欧盟食品安全局就婴儿配方奶粉和后续配方奶粉存在芳香烃矿物油（mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons, MOAH）的健康风险进行快速评估。

 

　　在食品观察报告法国、德国和荷兰的一些批次婴儿配方奶粉和后续配方奶粉中检测到芳香烃矿物油后，欧盟委员会要求成员国分析相关批次，并调查可能的污染源，并授权EFSA对婴儿配方奶粉和后续配方奶粉中存在MOAH的相关健康风险进行快速评估。

　　Following the detection of mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons （MOAH） in batches of infant and follow-on formula in France, Germany and the Netherlands reported by foodwatch, the European Commission（EC） asked Member States （MS） to analyse the concerned batches and to investigate possible contamination sources; and mandated EFSA to perform a rapid assessment on the health risks related to the presence of MOAH in infant and follow-on formula. MOAH may include the presence of genotoxic and carcinogenic 3-7 ring polycyclic aromatic compounds （3-7 PAC）。 The EFSA opinion of June 2012 on mineral oil hydrocarbons identified a potential health concern related to the presence of these compounds in MOAH. For the current assessment, EFSA received only limited occurrence data from two MS （Austria and Germany）， in addition to the data published by foodwatch and data from Specialised Nutrition Europe. Different frequencies of quantifiable MOAH levels were observed, ranging from 50% of detection in the samples tested by foodwatch to lack of detection in the three samples analysed by the German authorities. Quantified MOAH levels were in the range 0.2-3 mg/kg.
