Abstracts

Sweetener industry hot topics in 2014:

• On 2 March, 2014, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) announced that, because of a request from the European Commission, EFSA had carried out a revised exposure assessment of stevia sweetener for its use as a food additive, taking into account the proposed extension of uses for the sweetener. Earlier a manufacturer requested the authorization to use stevia sweeteners in hot drinks, including tea, coffee, herbal infusion beverages, instant coffee and instant cappuccino products, as well as malt-based and chocolate/cappuccino flavored drinks;
• According to the announcement on 9 June, 2014, the National Health and Family Planning Commission of the People's Republic of China (NHFPC) approved the extension of use for sucralose, after the review in accordance with Measures for the Administration of New Varieties of Food Additives. In detail, these two food categories, the processed edible fungi and algae as well as the pre-cooked (instant) noodles and rice, are listed in the new the extension of use for sucralose. And the maximum proposed use levels respectively are 0.3g/kg and 0.6/kg;
• On 3 July, 2014, the NHFPC solicited opinions that it would revise the maximum Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) of Xylo Oligosaccharide (XOS) from 1.2g/day to 3.0g/day, and add corn straw (or corn cob) as the raw material of XOS besides wheat straw. Opinion soliciting will end by 31 July, 2014. The old standard of XOS as new food raw material was announced by the Ministry of Health of The People’s Republic of China (the former body of the NHFPC) at the end of May 2008.
