Type: Opinion of the Scientific Committee/Scientific PanelOn request from: Food Standards Agency, UKQuestion number: EFSA-Q-2010-00934Adopted: 02 February 2011Published: 21 February 2011Affiliation: European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), Parma, Italy

Abstract

This scientific opinion of EFSA deals with the risk assessment of the additive, 3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoic acid, esters with C13-C15 branched and linear alcohols, CAS No. 171090-93-0, REF. No. 47060 for which the CEF Panel concluded that there is no safety concern for the consumer if the substance is used only in polyolefins in contact with foods other than fatty/high-alcoholic and dairy products and its migration does not exceed 0.05 mg/kg food.

Summary

Within the general task of evaluating substances intended for use in materials in contact with food according to the Regulation (EC) No.1935/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 October 2004 on materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs, the CEF Panel received a request from a competent Member State Authority for safety evaluation of a substance following a corresponding application from the industry.

The request received and the outcome of the safety evaluation is summarised below:

The Food Standards Agency, UK, requested for evaluation of the additive, 3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoic acid, esters with C13-C15 branched and linear alcohols with the CAS number 171090-93-0 and the European Commission reference number (REF. No.) 47060, for use as an antioxidant in all polyolefins at a maximum content of 0.06% w/w for contact with dry and aqueous food types at room temperature for a long period and in contact with boiling water for 15 minutes. The dossier was submitted on behalf of Chemtura Manufacturing UK Ltd.

The CEF Panel concluded that there is no safety concern for the consumer if the substance is used only in polyolefins in contact with foods other than fatty/high-alcoholic and dairy products and its migration does not exceed 0.05 mg/kg food.
