EFSA: Opinion on the Reâevaluation of Pectin (E 440i) and Amidated pectin (E 440ii) as Food Additives in Foods for Infants Below 16 Weeks of age and Followâup of their Reâevaluation as food additives for uses in Foods for all Population Groups
Mar 02, 2021
Based on the information submitted in response to the call for data, the FAF Panel considered it feasible to amend the current specifications, in particular for the toxic elements arsenic, lead, cadmium, mercury and for sulfur dioxide and to introduce new specifications for aluminium and microbiological criteria. The FAF Panel recommended a reduction of the MPL of pectin (E 440i) and amidated pectin (E 440ii) in food categories 13.1.5.1 and 13.1.5.2, in order to reduce the exposure to both the additives themselves and to methanol.
