ADI:
NOT SPECIFIED

Comments:
JECFA concluded that the use of basic methacrylate copolymer that complies with the specifications established at the current meeting is not of safety concern when the food additive is used as a coating or glazing agent for solid food supplements and for foods for special medical purposes and micronutrient encapsulation for food fortification. JECFA concluded that the toxicological data on the residual monomers do not give rise to concerns when taking into account the low dietary exposures.
