2.2.6 PROVISIONS FOR ALUMINIUM CONTAINING FOOD ADDITIVES (Agenda Item 5d)
HIGHLIGHTS OF DISCUSSION
(Document: CX/FA 11/43/10, CRD 14 (Kenya, India,
Indonesia, Japan, Mali, Thailand, NHF)
The Committee recalled that the 42 nd CCFA had agreed to
establish an eWG to revise the maximum use levels for
aluminium-containing food additives i.e. sodium aluminium
phosphates (acidic and basic) (INS 541(i), (ii)), aluminium
ammonium sulfate (INS 523), sodium aluminium silicate (INS
554), calcium aluminium silicate (INS 556), and aluminium
silicate (INS 559), based on the comments submitted, to ensure
that their maximum use levels were numeric and expressed on
an aluminium basis. It was further recalled that the purpose of
this work was to revise the provisions of the aluminium
containing food additives in order to limit the exposure in
light of the revised PTWI.
The Delegation of Brazil introduced the recommendations of the
e-WG (CX/FA 11/43/10) and recalled the decision of the 42 nd
CCFA to discontinue or revoke all provisions for aluminiumcontaining
food additives that were not numerical and not
expressed on an aluminium basis at the current Session.
The JECFA Secretariat recalled that JECFA had recently reevaluated
aluminium from all sources, including aluminiumcontaining
food additives and established a new PTWI of 1
mg/kg body weight for aluminium from all sources.
Consequently, all existing ADIs for aluminium-containing food
additives had been withdrawn. The JECFA exposure
assessment had identified a possible exceedance of the PTWI,
especially for children consuming certain foods. It had thus been
recommended to decrease the use of aluminium-containing
food additives to the extent possible. It was noted that
JECFA would re-evaluate aluminium-containing food additives,
in particular the aspect of their bioavailability at its 74 th meeting
