Evaluation year: 2007
ADI:0-1.9 mg/kg bw (as EDTA)
ADI:
0-1.9 mg/kg bw (as EDTA)
Comments:
Sodium iron EDTA is suitable for use as a source of iron for food fortification to fulfil nutritional iron requirements, provided that the total intake of iron from all food sources including contaminants does not exceed the PMTDI of 0.8 mg/kg bw. Total intake of EDTA should not exceed acceptable levels, also taking into account the intake of EDTA from the food additive use of other EDTA compounds. An ADI of 0-2.5 mg/kg bw was previously established for the calcium disodium and disodium salts of EDTA, equivalent to up to 1.9 mg/kg bw EDTA.
Tolerable Intake:
PMTDI 0.8 mg/kg bw (as iron)
