食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊  2020年5月6日，據(jù)歐盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，歐盟食品添加劑和調(diào)味劑小組（ FAF ）重新評(píng)估了二甲基聚硅氧烷 （Dimethyl polysiloxane）（E 900）作為食品添加劑的安全性。

 

　　經(jīng)過評(píng)估，專家小組認(rèn)為在規(guī)定的用途和使用水平下，二甲基聚硅氧烷作為食品添加劑不存在安全問題。部分原文報(bào)道如下：

 

　　The Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings （FAF） provided a scientific opinion re‐evaluating the safety of dimethyl polysiloxane （E 900） as a food additive. E 900 was evaluated by the Scientific Committee on Food （SCF） in 1990 and agreed with the Acceptable Daily Intake （ADI） of 1.5 mg/kg body weight （bw） per day previously established by Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives （JECFA） in 1974. Dimethyl polysiloxane was only absorbed to a very limited extent from the gastrointestinal tract following oral administration and the vast majority was excreted unchanged in the faeces. Corneal opacities and other effects on cornea were observed in studies in rats. These effects are considered to be caused by direct contact with the test substance in the feed and/or with the test substance in the faeces and not due to systemic exposure.
