ALUMINIUM FROM ALL SOURCES, INCLUDING FOOD ADDITIVES (addendum)

摘要

Various aluminium compounds were evaluated by the Committee at its thirteenth, twenty-first, twenty-sixth, twenty-ninth, thirtieth and thirty-third meetings (Annex 1, references 20, 44, 59, 70, 73 and 83). At its thirteenth meeting, an acceptable daily intake (ADI) 'not specified' was established for sodium alumino-silicate and aluminium calcium silicate (Annex 1, reference 20). At its thirtieth meeting, the Committee noted concerns about a lack of precise information on the aluminium content of thediet and a need for additional safety data. The Committee set a temporary ADI of 0-0.6 mg/kg bw expressed as aluminium for all aluminium salts added to food, and recommended that aluminium in all its forms should be reviewed at a future meeting.
