Evaluations

Evaluation year: 2016

ADI:
NOT SPECIFIED

Comments:
The Committee removed the temporary designatione and established an ADI “not specified” for OSAmodified gum arabic. The Committee confirmed the validity of the dietary exposure estimate for risk assessment purposes set at a previous meeting.

Report: 
">TRS 1000-JECFA 82/30

Evaluation year: 2014

ADI:
Not specified (temporary)
Comments:
The Committee revised the specifications and maintained the tentative status pending submission of data. The Committee noted that in addition to the requested information, additional safety data may be needed to complete the evaluation of OSA-modified gum arabic. The Committee decided that the temporary ADI “not specified” will be withdrawn unless adequate data to complete the safety evaluation are submitted by the end of 2015.
