欧盟食品安全局评估交联聚丙烯酸钠用于食品接触材料的安全性

　　食品伙伴网讯   据欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，5月13日欧盟食品安全局就交联聚丙烯酸钠用于食品接触材料的安全性发布意见。

　　欧盟专家组经过评估认为，如果交联聚丙烯酸钠并不直接接触食品，而仅仅作为吸液垫的吸液成分用于肉、禽、蔬果等食品包装材料，并且在吸收能力许可范围内的情况下，交联聚丙烯酸钠并不会迁移，因此食用包材内的食品是***。

　　部分原文报道如下：

　　This scientific opinion of the EFSA Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids （CEF Panel） deals with the safety assessment of the polyacrylic acid, sodium salt, cross-linked, food contact material （FCM） substance No 1015, which is intended to be used as a liquid absorber in the packaging of fresh or frozen foods, such as meat, poultry, seafood, fruits and vegetables. Specific migration tests *** not performed due to the high absorption of liquids by the substance. The Panel noted that if polyacrylic acid, sodium salt, cross-linked, is not in direct contact with the food but is placed in a pad and used under conditions wher its absorption capacity is not exceeded, then no migration is to be expected and therefore no exposure from the consumption of the packed food is expected.
