Pilot monitoring programme assesses food additives and flavourings in the EU, highlighting risks and challenges.

Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate the occurrence and dietary exposure of specific food additives and flavourings.
  • Pilot programme assessed three food additives and two flavourings across 22 EU Member States.
  • Collected 18,296 analytical results from 8943 food samples and 663 use levels.
  • Used refined exposure scenarios to analyze dietary intake.
  • All food additive exposure estimates were below their acceptable daily intakes (ADIs).
  • Caffeine exposure estimates exceeded no safety concern doses in adults due to natural sources.
  • Cautions noted regarding the robustness of findings, suggesting further data collection is needed.
