Abstract:
Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on red carotenoid-rich Paracoccus carotinifaciens NITE SD 00017 for salmon and trout (category: sensory additives; functional group: colourants; substances which when fed to animals add colours to food of animal origin) for the renewal of its authorisation. The applicant provided evidence that the additive complies with the conditions of the authorisation. The Panel concludes that the use of the additive in salmon and trout remains safe for the target species, the consumer and the environment under the authorised conditions of use. When assessing consumer exposure to canthaxanthin and adonirubin at the level of the existing maximum residue limits (MRL) for poultry and the proposed MRL for trout/salmon (5 mg/kg muscle), the exposure of consumers exceeds the acceptable daily intake (ADI) in the population classes toddlers and other children. The Panel considers that there is no need to restrict the use of the additive to fish older than 6 months or of more than 50 g. Red carotenoid-rich Paracoccus carotinifaciens NITE SD 00017 is not irritant to the skin, but is irritant to the eyes. It is considered a dermal and respiratory sensitiser and any exposure via skin or the respiratory tract is a risk.
摘要:
根据欧盟委员会的要求,EFSA被要求就鲑鱼和鳟鱼的富含红色类胡萝卜素的类胡萝卜素副球菌NITESD00017(类别:感官添加剂;功能组:着色剂;饲喂动物时给动物来源的食物添加颜色的物质)提供科学意见,以更新其授权。申请人提供了证明添加剂符合授权条件的证据。专家小组的结论是,在鲑鱼和鳟鱼中使用添加剂对目标物种仍然安全,在授权使用条件下的消费者和环境。在评估消费者在家禽的现有最大残留限量(MRL)和鳟鱼/鲑鱼的拟议MRL(5mg/kg肌肉)水平下接触角黄素和adonirubin时,消费者的暴露量超过人口类幼儿和其他儿童的可接受的每日摄入量(ADI)。小组认为,没有必要限制将该添加剂用于6个月以上或超过50克的鱼类。富含红色类胡萝卜素的类胡萝卜素副球菌NITESD00017对皮肤没有刺激性,但对眼睛有刺激性。它被认为是皮肤和呼吸致敏剂,任何通过皮肤或呼吸道的暴露都是有风险的。
