食品添加劑和
調味劑小組( FAF )重新評估了二甲基聚矽氧烷 (Dimethyl polysiloxane)(E 900)作為食品添加劑的安全性。
經過評估,專家小組認為在規定的用途和使用水平下,二甲基聚矽氧烷作為食品添加劑不存在安全問題。部分原文報導如下:
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.
