食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊    據(jù)歐盟網(wǎng)站消息，9月30日歐盟發(fā)布法規(guī)（EU）2015/1739，修訂關(guān)于食品添加劑的法規(guī)（EC）No 1333/2008附件II和（EU） No 231/2012的附件，批準(zhǔn)酒石酸鐵作為抗結(jié)劑用于鹽及代鹽制品。本法規(guī)自公布二十日起生效。

    歐盟食品安全局評估認(rèn)為，酒石酸鐵作為抗結(jié)劑用于鹽及代鹽制品安全。酒石酸鐵是L-酒石酸鹽異構(gòu)物與D-,L-和內(nèi)消旋酒石酸鹽平衡后添加入三氯化鐵制成。

    部分原文報道如下：

    The European Food Safety Authority evaluated the safety of iron tartrate, which is a complexation product of sodium tartrate and iron （III） chloride, as a food additive and in its opinion （4） of 9 December 2014 concluded that, taking into account toxicological data and the conservative assumptions included in the exposure assessment, there is no safety concern for its use as an anti-caking agent in salt and its substitutes at the level of use proposed.

    Addition of an anti-caking agent to salt and its substitutes is considered necessary in order to improve flow properties and to avoid the formation of hardened agglomerates when exposed to moisture and during storage. The use of iron tartrate can serve as an alternative to other currently authorised additives, such as ferrocyanides （E 535-538） and silicon dioxide silicates （E 551-553）。 It is therefore appropriate to authorise the use of iron tartrate as an anti-caking agent in salt and its substitutes and to assign E 534 as E-number to that additive.
