经过评估,专家小组得出结论,在建议的使用条件下,?橙番茄提取物作为新型食品的安全性尚未确定。部分原文报道如下:
Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to deliver an opinion on yellow/orange tomato extract used as a novel food (NF) pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2283/2015. The NF which is the subject of the application is a carotenoid-rich extract from the yellow/orange tomato co
ntaining predominantly phytoene and phytofluene, as well as a lesser amount of beta-carotene, zeta-carotene and lycopene. The NF is produced from the tomato pulp using supercritical CO2 extraction. The applicant proposes the use of the NF in cereal bars, functio
nal drinks and as a food supplement in individuals above 15 years of age. For the use of the NF in cereal bars and functio
nal drinks, the Panel considers, the target population is the general population. According to EFSA's latest exposure assessment for lycopene as a food additive (EFSA ANS Panel, 2017), the highest P95 intakes for children (< 10 and 10C17 years) and adults when combined to the use of lycopene as a food colour from natural occurrence would exceed the established acceptable daily intake (ADI) for lycopene (0.5 mg/kg body weight (bw) day). The estimated intakes of the NF would lead to an exceedance of the ADI when co
nsidering natural occurrence and exposure to lycopene when used as a food additive. Due to the absence of safety data regarding phytoene and phytofluene intake from the NF, and the co
ntribution of the NF to the estimated high daily intakes of lycopene, the Panel co
nsiders that it cannot be established whether or not the co
nsumption of the NF is nutritio
nally disadvantageous. The Panel co
ncludes that the safety of the NF has not been established under the proposed co
nditions of use.
