Evaluations

Evaluation year: 2024

ADI:
0-25 mg/kg bw

Comments:
At its Seventeenth meeting, JECFA established an ADI of 0–25 mg/kg bw for Polyglycerol esters of fatty acids, based on a long-term study in rats in which there were no effects at 2500 mg/kg bw, the highest dose tested. In the absence of any new toxicological information, JECFA re-affirmed the ADI of 0–25 mg/kg bw.
