| See: | TIN | INS: | 512 | Chemical names: | STANNOUS CHLORIDE DIHYDRATE; TIN (II) CHLORIDE | Synonyms: | TIN DICHLORIDE | Functional class: | ANTIOXIDANT; COLOUR RETENTION AGENT | Latest evaluation: | 2000 |
| Tolerable Intake: | PTWI 14 mg/kg bw (1988) | Comments: | PTWI, expressed as Sn, including stannous chloride. The 1988 PTWI was not reconsidered and was maintained at the fifty-fifth meeting (2000). The acute toxicity of tin was assessed at the fifty-fifth meeting, but data were insufficient for establishing an acute reference dose. The Committee reiterated the conclusion reached in 1988 that tin concentrations as low as 150 mg/kg in canned beverages and 250 mg/kg in other canned foods may produce acute manifestations of gastric irritation in certain individuals. | Report: | TRS 901-JECFA 55/69 | Specifications: | COMPENDIUM ADDENDUM 11/FNP 52 Add. 11/89 (METALS LIMITS) (2003) | Tox monograph: | FAS 24-JECFA 33/329 (1988) | Addendum: | FAS 46/JECFA 55/307 | Previous status: | 1988, TRS 776-JECFA 33/34, FAS 24-JECFA 33/329.
