ADI:
No ADI established

Comments:
JECFA decided not to review succinic acid (No. 2307) because it had previously been evaluated as a food additive at the Twenty-ninth meeting; at that meeting, JECFA concluded that succinic acid does not represent a hazard at the levels at which it is likely to be used as a food additive, due to its normal role in metabolism.
