(6)On 10 August 2020, the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) issued a Scientific Opinion on the re-evaluation of polyvinylpyrrolidone (E 1201) and polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (E 1202) as food additives and extension of use of polyvinylpyrrolidone (E 1201)note. The Authority concluded that there was no need for numerical acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) for polyvinylpyrrolidone (E 1201) and polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (E 1202), and that there was no safety concern for the reported uses and use levels of polyvinylpyrrolidone (E 1201) and polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (E 1202) as food additives. According to the Statement on a conceptual framework for the risk assessment of certain food additives re-evaluated under Commission Regulation (EU) No 257/2010note, the conclusion ‘no need for numerical acceptable daily intakes’ is used for substances of a very low safety concern and only if there is reliable information for both exposure and toxicity and a low probability of adverse health effects in humans at doses that do not induce nutritional imbalance in animals.
