General Information
Evaluations
| Evaluation year: | 2011 |
| ADI: | NOT SPECIFIED |
| Specs Code: | R |
| Comments: | Dietary exposure to pullulan as a dietary fibre could reach 1g/kg body weight per day for children (2–5 years old) and 0.4 g/kg body weight per day for the general population (2 years of age and older). These estimates are 8 and 20 times lower, respectively, than the no-observed-effect level (NOEL) observed in the 90-day rat study evaluated previously. Gastrointestinal effects observed in humans should be taken into account when considering appropriate use levels. The Committee stressed that it assessed the safety of use and not the efficacy of pullulan used as a dietary fibre. The Committee maintained the previously established ADI “not specified”c for the previously evaluated food additive uses. |
