Evaluations

Evaluation year: 2004

ADI:
NOT SPECIFIED

Comments:
On the basis of the data reviewed by JECFA at its sixty-first meeting and at its present meeting, and taking into account the fact that D-tagatose has physiological and toxicological properties similar to those of other carbohydrates of low digestibility, JECFA removed the temporary ADI and allocated an ADI “not specified” for D-tagatose.
