Evaluation year: 2016

Comments:
JECFA concluded that the new data do not give reason to revise the ADI and confirmed the ADI of 0–7 mg/kg body weight (bw). JECFA noted that the range of estimated dietary exposures to Allura Red AC for children based on reported or industry use data were below the upper bound of the ADI and concluded that dietary exposure to Allura Red AC for children and all other age groups does not present a health concern.
