Abstract A notification from Buenalimento S.L. (Chile) has been submitted to the European Commission under Article 14 of Regulation [European Union (EU)] 2015/2283 place on market dried fronds Durvillaea incurvata (Suhr) Macaya as a traditional food third country (TF). In line with 15(2) that Regulation, Food Safety Authority (EFSA) was asked by whether there are duly reasoned safety objections placing TF within EU. The consists brown algae D. that, according applicant, have consumed for more than 25 years in Chile. is proposed be marketed EU various forms, including whole intact fronds, chopped or small and formless sifted fragments. Based cadmium, iodine inorganic arsenic content TF, EFSA considers may pose risk human health. Thus, raises (dried incurvata).

Herbs, well-known for their antioxidant properties, are a common component of the human diet. In this work, first time, bioaccessibility essential (Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Co, Cr, and Se) toxic trace elements (Ni, Cd, As, Pb, Hg) in spice plants: basil, peppermint, rosemary was studied using an vitro gastrointestinal digestion process artificial dialysis membranes. The different forms plants, fresh, lyophilized, dried (as dietary supplements), were analyzed. results show that depends on type form, origin. Relatively high Cu (24–84%), Mn (39–52%), Zn (8–43%) observed fresh lyophilized herbs. lowest value obtained Fe (<2%) all lyophilization did not affect elements' total phenolic content positively correlated with tested plants.

Abstract The EFSA Panel on Food Additive and Flavourings (FAF Panel) provides a scientific opinion the safety assessment of proposed use pea fibre concentrate (FIPEA) as food additive. FIPEA is powder consisting mainly dietary fibres (i.e. pectin hemicellulose), low amounts protein, derived from yellow (P. sativum). manufacturing process includes extensive heat treatments, (e.g. > 100°C for more than 40 min), conditions which lead to inactivation lectins, that in do not pose concern. A specific α‐amylase used manufacturing, this should be included definition specifications. considered additional contribution total intake adults toddlers would acceptable considering levels are adequate by NDA Panel. recommended lower specification limits toxic elements. solubility test indicates material does require at nanoscale.

Abstract The present opinion deals with the re‐evaluation of pullulan (E 1204) when used as a food additive and new application on extension use to several categories. Pullulan is obtained by fermentation food‐grade hydrolysed starch non‐genetically modified Aureobasidium pullulans ■■■■■. Based available information, Panel considered that manufacturing process using this microorganism does not raise safety concern. confirmed no concern for genotoxicity. In vitro, broken down salivary pancreatic amylase intestinal iso‐amylase it further metabolised short chain fatty acids in colon fermentation. Human adult volunteer studies suggested effects are similar other poorly digestible carbohydrate polymers including celluloses mild undesirable gastrointestinal symptoms (i.e. abdominal fullness, flatulence, bloating cramping) may occur at doses 10 g per day greater. compared dose dietary exposure estimates its currently permitted uses considering proposed changes uses. concluded there need numerical ADI reported levels. Additionally, levels indicate individuals high level exposure, principally coming from supplements, experience

Arsenic chronic exposure, particularly in its inorganic form, represents a significant public health concern. This study was conducted Arica, the northernmost city country, whose inhabitants have been exposed to arsenic both naturally through drinking water and anthropogenically due toxic waste disposal site. We explored changes levels cohort of pregnant women their children over decade, identifying exposure trends determinants. used data on maternal urine samples during pregnancy, collected by Health Authority between 2013 2016 (measurement 1), followed up with assessments 2023 2). Temporal concentration were analyzed using Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test, mixed linear regression model employed determine which factors contributed urinary levels. did not observe differences mean concentrations two-time points (p = 0.4026). The revealed that consuming bottled had 8.3% lower than those tap (95% CI: −15.36 −0.54%). Additionally, from ethnic groups 8.64% higher 0.49 17.5%), while caregivers education showed 13.67% reduction −25.06 −0.56%). Despite mitigation efforts, these findings underscore ongoing risk among vulnerable populations. They further emphasize importance addressing natural contamination implementing targeted interventions reduce disparities associated socioeconomic demographic factors.

Infants and toddlers are exposed to environmental contaminants elements also via food. Due its high proportion in young children’s diet, infant formula can contribute significantly exposure. The present study describes the exposure such as inorganic arsenic (iAs), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), mercury (Hg), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), selenium (Se), zinc (Zn) consumption classifies total dietary children aged 0.5-3 years Germany. assessment of long-term was based on data from first diet (TDS) Germany, BfR MEAL Study, nutrition survey KiESEL. Results were compared existing health-based guidance values (HBGV) or margin (MoE) approach used. Cr, Ni, Se well below corresponding HBGV. No HBGV established for Hg, so results transformed into Hg. Mn Zn exposures close 95th percentile MoE Pb one. iAs one all children, Cd levels exceeded about 30% infants toddlers. These support risk managers continuing prioritizing reduction strategies reduce Exposure contaminants, particularly Mn, Zn, Pb, iAs, Cd, through should be further monitored.
