⚛️. US Food and Drug Administration Seafood Safety Updates Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition FDA Issues Import Alert for Food Products with Chemical Contaminants Including PFAS FDA has recently issued a new import alert for human food products with detectable levels of chemical contaminants that may present a safety concern to human health. PFAS are a diverse group of thousands of chemicals used in many different types of products. PFAS in the environment can enter the food supply through plants and animals grown, raised, or processed in contaminated areas. It is also possible for very small amounts of certain PFAS to enter foods through food packaging, processing, and cookware. ↪️. Read more at https://vist.ly/swbm #FDA #PFAS #Chemical #FoodSafety

🛎 Buffered vinegar now officially authorised as a food additive. A definitive end to the #cleanlabelling saga for this ingredient used to be used as a common ingredient with preservative and acidity regulator properties. The SCOPAFF considered a couple a years ago that, considering its technological function, it should be considered as a #foodadditive and must undergo an authorisation procedure. Now, food business operators (FBOs) can reintegrate this ingredient into their products. However, the caveat lies in the identification process—it's now officially a food additive. 🏷️ Check the Commission Regulation 2023/2086 amending Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council and the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 as regards the use of buffered vinegar as a preservative and acidity regulator is out.

Head of scientific department chez Nutraveris - A FoodChain ID Company / Senior expert in food ingredient authorization Novel food / Health claim / Food additif / Food enzyme / GRAS / NDI / Food supplement / Food safety
𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐬𝐲𝐫𝐮𝐩 (𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐝) 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝. European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has evaluated the safety of isomaltulose syrup (dried) as novel food, and concluded that the ingredient is as safe as sucrose. The application, submitted by Evonik Creavis, provided a full manufacturing process, which was sufficient for EFSA despite being the process of a pilot plant. The process uses a sucrose isomerase from Serratia plymuthica. Interrestingly, the applicant did not provide any pharmacokinetic or safety data, but used the scientific literature to complete these parts. The novel food is intended to be used as a replacement of sucrose. EFSA concludes that the novel food is as safe as sucrose. To note, no data protection is indicated in EFSA opinion, with thus a risk of generic authorization. https://lnkd.in/e6PUNZNQ #novelfood #efsa #Sucrose #Isomaltulose #sugar #Nutraveris #FoodchainID

Today, on World Food Safety Day, we emphasise the importance of safe food for sustaining life and promoting good health. Low/no calorie sweeteners (LNCS) support this goal by providing sweet options with reduced sugar content. To ensure their safety for market use, low/no calorie sweeteners undergo rigorous safety assessments by food safety authorities. Experts review extensive research on their chemistry, metabolism, uses, exposure, and toxicology. Only when there is no safety concern, LNCS are permitted for use in foods and beverages. Learn more about safety control in our latest factsheet. https://lnkd.in/eV2WUkKM #WorldFoodSafetyDay

“In a complex world where consumer groups, state-level legislations, and the FDA all seek to identify, review, and prioritize food additive safety, it is essential...to understand the concerns, science, and implications of the resulting actions," shared IFT Chief Science and Technology Officer Bryan Hitchcock. Starting in 2027, the California Food Safety Act will prohibit four commonly used food additives––brominated vegetable oil, potassium bromate, propylparaben, and red dye 3. As other states consider similar legislation, join IFT’s Concierge Service this Friday, February 16, for a FREE webinar to learn what stakeholders should be considering in the days ahead: https://hubs.la/Q02kHxZJ0 #FoodAndBeverage #FoodSafety #FDA
