Abstract

Shipping of edible fats and oils into Europe is permitted in bulk tanks, provided that the previous cargo is included in a positive list. The European Commission requested EFSA to evaluate the acceptability as previous cargoes for fats and oils the substances calcium lignosulphonate, methyl acetate, ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE) and ammonium sulphate. The evaluation was based on the same criteria as those used for the evaluation of the substances currently on the list in the Annex to Commission Directive 96/3/EC as acceptable previous cargoes for edible fats and oils. Methyl acetate and ETBE meet the criteria for acceptability as previous cargoes. Due to uncertainties, mainly with regard to the composition and toxicity of the low molecular mass fraction, and the fact that the toxicological database is limited to the 40-65 grade and does not cover all grades of calcium lignosulphonate shipped as previous cargoes, the EFSA Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain (CONTAM Panel) concluded that calcium lignosulphonate does not meet the criteria for acceptability as a previous cargo. Only food-grade ammonium sulphate meets the criteria for acceptability as a previous cargo due to uncertainties about impurities in other (non-food) grades.

摘要

允许在散装油罐中将食用油脂运往欧洲，前提是先前的货物包括在肯定清单中。欧盟委员会要求EFSA评估作为以前的脂肪和油的可接受性物质木质素磺酸钙，乙酸甲酯,乙基叔丁基醚(ETBE)和硫酸铵。评估所依据的标准与评估目前列入欧盟委员会指令96/3/EC附件中的物质的标准相同，这些物质是可接受的食用脂肪和油的先前货物。乙酸甲酯和ETBE符合先前货物的可接受性标准。由于不确定性,主要是关于低分子质量部分的组成和毒性，和事实，毒理学数据库是有限的40-65级和不包括所有等级的木素磺酸钙作为以前的货物运输，EFSA食物链污染物小组（CONTAM小组）得出结论，木质素磺酸钙不符合以前货物的可接受性标准。由于其他（非食品）等级中杂质的不确定性，只有食品级硫酸铵才符合先前货物的可接受性标准。
