标题:Scientific Opinion on the safety evaluation of the active substances, sodium borohydride and palladium acetate for use in active food contact materials
摘要:This scientific opinion of EFSA deals with the risk assessment of sodium borohydride (CAS No 16940-66-2 and FCM substance No 981), and palladium acetate (CAS No 3375-31-3 and FCM substance No 982), reduced to palladium (CAS No 7440-05-3; FCM substance No 993) in the plastic during the manufacturing process, when used in combination as an oxygen absorbing system in food contact materials. The CEF Panel considers that palladium is non genotoxic and a low exposure to palladium resulting from a concentration up to 0.05 mg/kg food is not of toxicological concern.In addition, the CEF Panel used the tolerable upper intake level (UL) of 0.16 mg boron/kg bw per day equivalent to 10 mg boron/person per day in adults established by the EFSA NDA Panel in 2004, instead of the previously derived TDI of 0.1 mg boron/kg bw (SCF, 2001a).
