Evaluations

Evaluation year: 2000

Intake:
2000, TRS 901-JECFA 55/71. No data on calcium intake from food additives or from other sources were available to the Committee. To determine the contribution of calcium salts of food additives to the total intake of calcium (e.g., naturally occurring calcium, food fortificants, discretionary use of supplements and pharmaceutical (antacid) preparations) would require data on the levels of use and the food groups in which those food additives are permitted.
