| Intake: | TRS 891-JECFA 51/118,157; FAS 42-JECFA 51/403. Intake estimates based on food additive levels in the draft General Standard for Food Additives of the Codex Committee on Food Additives and Contaminants, integrated with national data on food consumption, exceeded the ADI of 0-5 mg/kg bw in the five Member States that submitted such data. In national data submitted by nine Member States, estimates of mean intake of benzoates did not exceed the ADI. The potential exists for consumers with high intakes to exceed the ADI, but the available data were insufficient to estimate the number of such consumers or the magnitude and duration of intake above the ADI. |
