|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of vitamin C in the form of ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate, calcium ascorbate, ascorbyl palmitate and sodium calcium ascorbyl phosphate. |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | Following a request from the European Commission (EC), the Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources added to Food (ANS) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion re-evaluating the safety of ascorbic acid (E 300), sodium ascorbate (E 301) and calcium ascorbate (E 302) as food additives. The Panel was not provided with a newly submitted dossier and no new toxicological or biological information was submitted for the present re-evaluation. The Panel based its evaluation on previous evaluations, additional literature that had become available since the previous evaluations and the data available following a public call for data. |
