Xanthan gum (E 415) was re-e
valuated in 2017 by the former EFSA Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient sources added to Food. As a follow-up to that assessment, the Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF) was requested to assess the safety of xanthan gum (E 415) for its uses as a food additive in food for infants below 16?weeks of age belo
nging to food category (FC) 13.1.5.1 (Dietary foods for infants for special medical purposes and special formulae for infants). In addition, the FAF Panel was requested to address the issues already identified during the re-e
valuation of the food additive when used in food for the general population. The process involved the publication of a call for data to allow the interested business operators to provide the requested information to complete the risk assessment. The Panel co
ncluded that the technical data provided by the interested business operators support an amendment of the specifications for E 415 laid down in Commission Regulation (EU) No 231/2012. Due to the low validity of the available clinical studies, the Panel co
ncluded that a reference point could not be derived from them but the results of the available studies on neo
natal piglets could serve to derive a reference point. The Panel calculated the margin of exposure for infants below 16?weeks of age co
nsuming food for special medical purposes (FC 13.1.5.1) for the highest xanthan gum exposure and co
ncluded that there are no safety co
ncerns for the use of xanthan gum (E 415) as a food additive in FC 13.1.5.1.
