(8)Acetone as a solvent used in the preparation of foods is authorised by Directive 2009/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote, and levels up to 5000 mg/kg of acetone have been assessed by the Authority in the context of the safety assessment of the application for the authorisation of nicotinamide riboside chloride as a novel foodnote that involved identical proposed uses and resulting anticipated intakes to the uses and intakes of the protein extract from pig kidneys. The Commission however considers that, as an additional safety reassurance element, acetone should be added as a parameter in the specifications of the protein extract from pig kidneys produced by the acetone wash production process, at the same levels (≤ 5000 mg/kg) that have been assessed by the Authority and are included in the specifications of the novel food nicotinamide riboside chloride authorised by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/16note.
