歐盟：亞磷酸等物質在食品接觸性材料中的安全性意見

　　2019年5月16日，據歐盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，歐洲食品安全局食品接觸材料、酶和加工助劑小組（CEP）評估了亞磷酸（Phosphorous acid）、三苯酯（triphenyl ester）、C10-16烷基酯（alkyl esters）和α-氫-&omega；-羥基聚[氧基（甲基-1,2-亞乙基）。聚合物（polymer with alpha‐hydro‐omega‐hydroxypoly[oxy（methyl‐1,2‐ethanediyl）],）在食品接觸性材料中的安全性。

　　經過評估，CEP小組得出結論，所評估物質不會對消費者的安全造成影響。

　　部分原文報道如下：

　　The EFSA Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes and Processing Aids （CEP Panel） assessed the safety of the substance 'phosphorous acid, triphenyl ester, polymer with alpha‐hydro‐omega‐hydroxypoly[oxy（methyl‐1,2‐ethanediyl）], C10-16 alkyl esters', obtained by reaction of ■■■■■， when used as an additive at up to 0.2% w/w in high impact polystyrene. The plastic, in the form of films and articles, is intended for contact with aqueous, acidic, low‐alcohol and fatty foods for long‐term storage at room temperature and below, after hot‐fill and/or heating up to 100°C for up to 2 h. based on genotoxicity tests with negative results, the Panel considered that there is no evidence of mutagenicity and chromosomal damage of the substance and its phosphate form. From a repeated dose 90‐day oral toxicity study in rats, the Panel identified the no‐observed‐adverse‐effect level as 50 mg/kg body weight （bw） per day. No effects of induced delayed neurotoxicity in hens were observed.
