Follow‐up of the re‐evaluation of silver (E 174) as a food additive (EFSA‐Q‐202...
EFSA Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF); Andreassen, Monica; Aquilina, Gabriele; Bastos, Maria Lourdes; Boon, Polly; Castle, LaurenceSilver (E 174) is a food colour that was re‐evaluated by the EFSA ANS Panel (2016). The ANS Panel concluded that the information available then, was insufficient to assess the safety of silver as food additive. The major issues included limited characterisation of silver E 174 (e.g. quantity of nanoparticles) and release of ionic silver. Following a European Commission call for further data to fill the data gap...

Re‐evaluation of neotame (E 961) as food additive
EFSA Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF); Castle, Laurence; Andreassen, Monica; Aquilina, Gabriele; Bastos, Maria Lourdes; Boon, PollyThe present opinion deals with the re‐evaluation of neotame (E 961) as a food additive. Neotame is the chemically manufactured compound N‐[N‐(3,3‐dimethylbutyl)‐l‐α‐aspartyl]‐l‐phenylalanine 1‐methyl ester. The main impurity of neotame (E 961) is also a degradation product (de‐esterified form), N‐[N‐(3,3‐dimethylbutyl)‐l‐α‐aspartyl]‐l‐phenylalanine (NC‐00751) and the primary metabolite. No new data were receive...
