食品伙伴网讯    据欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，继2014年的安全性评估之后，6月30日欧盟食品安全局再次就甜菊糖苷作为食品添加剂的安全性发布意见。

    欧盟专家组指出，总体上所有人群平均的暴露量低于4 mg/kg bw /day的ADI数值（一个国家学步儿童除外）。专家组认为，甜菊糖苷的膳食暴露量同2014年的暴露估值类似，因此不改变之前的安全性评估结论。

    部分原文报道如下：

    Following a request from the European Commission to take into account an extension of use of steviol glycosides （E 960） as food sweeteners, a revised exposure assessment for five population groups was carried out based on the maximum permitted levels （MPLs） authorised in Annex II to Regulation （EC） No 1333/2008 and the extension of use at the levels proposed by the applicant for the food category 14.1.5 Coffee, tea, herbal and fruit infusions, chicory; tea, herbal and fruit infusions and chicory extracts; tea, plant fruit and cereal preparations for infusions, as well as mixes and instant mixes of these products （sub-category 14.1.5.2 Other）。
