Evaluations

Evaluation year: 2016

Comments:
JECFA concluded that the available studies are not sufficient for the evaluation of carob bean gum for use in infant formula at the proposed use level. JECFA requests toxicological data from studies in neonatal animals, adequate to evaluate the safety for use in infant formula, to complete the evaluation.
