Evaluations
Evaluation year: 2020
Comments:
The Committee noted that the high dietary exposure estimate of the sum of sucrose esters of fatty acids (INS 473) (SEFs) and sucrose oligoesters type I and type II (INS 473a) (SOEs) of 113 mg/kg bw per day for children aged 3–9 years exceeds the group ADI of 0–30 mg/kg bw per day by a factor of about 4. The Committee also noted that the dietary exposure estimates for some other age groups also exceeded the ADI. The Committee noted that the high dietary exposure estimates are conservative, predominantly due to the assumptions that - all foods that could contain SOEs and SEFs do in fact contain these food additives, whereas other food additives with the same functions in foods are available; and - when SEFs or SOEs are used, they are always present at the reported use levels. Therefore, the Committee considered that more refined dietary exposure estimates should be provided.
